That is more than enough data to look at. We know that far more whites are shot by police than blacks. We know that more blacks are shot percentage wise than whites, since blacks make up far less of the population. We also know that blacks commit far more crime percentage wise. When you look at the percentage of violent crime committed by all the different races and then you look at the percentages of those people that the police shoot, there is no evidence of anything unusual.
There is no evidence of any bias on the part of the police in the people they shoot. In another words, if 100 black people assault a cop and 100 white people assault a cop, there is no credible evidence that the police would shoot more black people than white people. If you have any evidence that says the opposite, I'd love to see it.

There has been study after study discussed in the press regarding bias against blacks. From kindergàrten to high school, stop and frisk in NY where whites more often had contraband, but blacks were stopped far more often...same with Ferguson, then there's disparity in court, sentencing, bias in who gets the death penalty. Bias is in every part of the criminal justice system.
Google it, look it up.
I have read plenty on the subject, which is why I know all that. And I am sure to read studies by viable groups with rock hard stats, not crap where someone has no data on 25% of his supposed subject, and then narrows it down with a subset, all so he can get the result he sought. Reminds me of the guy who did the vaccine ’study' which has since been debunked.
Look up harvards racial bias study for a start. Or Stanford, the professor earned a MacArthur fellowship award.
