There was a study that police in the US is a bit less likely to shoot blacks than whites. Overall lethal force by police is rare considering the amount of homicides in comparison.

Biggest problem is inner-city crime (gangs) which is mostly inner-racial violence. About 90% of blacks are getting murdered by other blacks according to the FBI data:

That's ignoring the cirumstances surrounding. Blacks are poorer on average than whites, and a higher proportion are in poverty, and poverty breeds desperation which causes an increase in crime.
