One must conclude that, a priori, blacks are more dangerous that whites. Ergo, one would be wise to take fewer risks when engaging blacks in any way. This isn't necessarily racism, but merely common sense and one should not be surprised to find that, as the sinapticas article states(concerning policing):

"In prior studies, participants were significantly more likely to shoot an unarmed black individual than a white one."

"Do black Americans commit more crime?"
