If you were to watch only CNN/MSNBC/Fox/nightly news or read publications like the NYT it would appear that over 75% (more like 95%) of all people killed by police were African American.
I was a bit surprised that Wapo had compiled a database of police shootings from 2015-2017(so far). According to their stats roughly 24% of all people killed by police in that time frame were African American. This is still a 1.85:1 over representation with 13% of the population being black during that period.

Due to historical factors African American communities have much higher crime rates (especially violent crime) in aggregate than communities of virtually any other racial/ethnic group. For instance, this DOJ report on homicide released in 2011 encapsulating the years 1980-2008 shows a bit over 50% of homicide offenders were African American:

Given the much higher crime rates in black communities, on average, it doesn't seem surprising that we have a relatively small (1:85:1) over-representation of African Americans in police killings. It's also important to remember that roughly 97.5% of African American homicide victims in a given year were not killed by police.
So why does the media make it seem like the percentage is so much higher without giving any context?
P.S. I condemn all unjustified homicides committed by police officers or any other member of the public.
There are giant holes in your argument. For one thing not all police killings are documented so we have no real idea how many Blacks/Whites are really killed by police.
Another huge problem with what you're saying is that blacks are "charged" with more crimes than white people simply because they're black...and this is part of the systemic racism they face from "certain groups" in society.
Finally....no one in their right mind ever thought that a group that makes up 13% of the population makes up the "Vast majority" of people killed by police, that would be mathematically ludicrous. You're the one creating conspiracies now.
