No one is arguing that Black Americans are inherently violent.

They are arguing that "historical travesties" -> "current situation for Black Americans" -> "increased risks of criminality and violence" -> "more interactions with cops" -> "more deaths by police".

Which requires different tools to solve than "cops are racist" -> "cops shoot more Black Americans".

And if our goal is to actually help Black Americans than we need to be clear eyed about the causes even if that makes us uncomfortable.
