Police are in fact less likely to kill blacks than whites. Perhaps in absolute terms, but definitely when you factor in the varying behavior patterns of the two groups.
But also adjusted to take into account the racial breakdown in violent crime, the data actually show that police are less likely to kill black suspects than white ones.
"If one adjusts for the racial disparity in the homicide rate or the rate at which police are feloniously killed, whites are actually more likely to be killed by police than blacks," wrote Moskos. "Adjusted for the homicide rate, whites are 1.7 times more likely than blacks (to) die at the hands of police. Adjusted for the racial disparity at which police are feloniously killed, whites are 1.3 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police."

Probably it's not useful to say things you have no idea about, such as to speculate on the experiences of people you don't know at all, such as me.
The details of course will be complex, but one study on one statistic (by an associate professor at CUNY reported on a partisan political site) doesn't challenge the phenomenon of racial discrimination by law enforcement and in our justice system, both of which are very well documeented.
This is likely the result of what is known as the "filter bubble."
