Also, fatal police shootings of unarmed Black people in US is more than 3 times as high as in Whites

One complication with any figures seems to be that Hispanic and Latino are classed as White when doing White vs Black comparisons.
Which group is more likely to be killed, as it is mostly by their own group, then they are proportionately more likely to kill somebody. Which group is more likely to carry and
use a gun? Which group is more likely to shoot Police officers? Which group is more likely to resist arrest and have to be restrained? Which group is more likely to be unarmed but acting in a way suggesting they are armed(ie reaching somewhere). Which group is more likely to be unarmed, but standing near somebody else who is armed and shooting at people?
Which is more likely to bite a person, a Pitbull or a Labrador? As a consequence of that, which of the 2 are you more going to be wary and nervous around?

3,299 white victims of which 566 were killed by Blacks and 738 by Hispanic/Latino. As I pointed out, Hispanic/Latino victims are included in the 3,299 victims.
2,906 Black victims of which 2,574 were killed by Blacks and at least(the unknown column) 95 by Hispanic/Latino. In fact a Black person is more likely to be killed by a woman than by a white person.
