Is the study not poorly framed? It attempted to see if police killings by race were explained by differences in violent crime. However, violent crime rates are reported by law enforcement. If black people are policed harder, they'll have greater rates of crime simply because they are caught more. Studies have found that white and black people commit crimes at the same rate, black people are simply caught more and punished more harshly.
