Do you think the apprehension a black man feels when he sees those blue lights is based on experience or on their understanding of statistics?
I wonder how a black man considers his encounters with other black men, given the enormity of crime which occurs in black on black scenarios--- which far outstrips any encounters between him and a police officer.

Black on black crime is the single most dangerous and life-threatening scenario facing a black man.
Not white hatred.
Not police interaction.
Flummoxed with facts, you fall back to your old tried-and-true: call anyone who reveals your stupidity a fear mongering fascist/racist/fill-in-the-blankist.
The fact of the matter is, you do literally nothing to help ethnic relations, but instead set the efforts back with your baseless finger pointing and false accusations.
I, on the other hand, have spent my career in very successful efforts in leveling the playing field for all people, regardless of ethnicity, gender, social or economic status.
Between your dismal armchair quarterbacking and my work in the trenches, I contend that I am far more qualified to assess and analyze the situation than you have ever or will ever be.

And you're a victim of conservative talking points, made so that white people can feel a little less apprehensive about what's been going on for years.
There are more white people than black people in most of America, so while "more white men are shot", it is far less by percentage. You're white, and so you cannot fathom the fear a black man feels when they see the blue lights behind them. That is called "white privilege".
You seem to harbor resentment of white people. Do you think you know how it feels to be black? Do you think only democrats understand how it feels to be black and discriminated against? Have you ever experienced a racially motivated attack?
More over, have you ever had an encounter with the police where you were a suspect? Have you ever been arrested? Have you ever resisted the police on the street, in a protest or at the precinct station?
While I may not be black I have experienced all those scenarios first hand. Even before you were born.
"You're white, and so you cannot fathom the fear a black man feels when they see the blue lights behind them. That is called "white privilege"".
No, that's called bs. I know the feeling. I could tell you stories.
You shouldn't be so presumptuous. Not all "white people" are as ignorant as you might think. I was raised by a racist who was strait out of depression era Birmingham Alabama. I know what it means, and I know how it "feels" too.
