I'm not denying there is an issue within London, but it's not a pattern that holds throughout the rest of the UK.

Numbers for the rest of the country painted a different picture, with murder victim and suspect figures more or less proportionate to the make up of the population.
Nationally, 3% of the population is black, 5% of murder victims are black and 13% of murder suspects are black.
White people make up 86% of the country, 89% of the UK's murder victims and 81% of its murder suspects.

So it's not 'more likely' as specific issue within the black community or indeed 'black young men'. It is specific issues within London, which warrants solving.
However whatever the reasons for the issues that happening within London, it doesn't excuse the issues that are happening when the BAME communities interact with the police and the justice system within the UK. And those issue are part of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations now happening.
