I think that the difference in the crime rate (particularly serious crimes like homicides, robberies, assault) accounts for the discrepancy between Blacks and Whites killed by police. Young Black American males are involved in gang and urban violence at far higher rates than Whites, it's a reality with which most Europeans aren't familiar.
This wasn't always the case btw, a half a century ago, Black homicide rates were much lower. One of the main factors that contributed to the massive increase in crime rates is the erosion of the family structure, which started in the 1960s; boys growing up fatherless are much more prone to engage in criminal activity.
