The main factor in America in the gun culture.
Double the number of white people are killed by the police, but white people make up five times more of the population - which means, per capita, black people are killed at two and a half time’s the rate of white people by the US police…

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