If you have a race of people running drugs in a neighbourhood, committing most of the crime in a neighbourhood.
Are you more likely to shoot them? Of course you are.
It depends on the area and climate. It's a poverty and class issue. Not a race issue, never has been and never will be.
It has little to do with race though, that's the point. It's people stuck in deprived areas, that in inner cities happens to be mostly black people. Outside cities there is just as much an issue in native american communities, a significant proportion of which are areas of high polity, drug use and criminality. Again it's less to do with race, rather the lack of prospects, deprivation and poverty that is a large cause of it.
Part of the problem is a subsection of the police seem to automatically assume a black person driving an expensive car is likely to have stolen it. Rather than you know, made enough money legitimately to have bought it out right. Stereotyping due to race is a major problem all over the world. It's one of the reasons stop and search in the UK was so controversial, it disproportionately affected certain minorities in our communities.
EDIT: Just read the last line of your post. So that's agreement.
