black people are more likely to find themselves in a situation where a gun gets drawn
This is because police are more likely to pull a gun on black men than white men in similar situations. I have provided citations to support this instead of a wall of opinion. I deliberately chose the first citation to be from Pnas, because that is funny.
For Black men, being tall increases threat stereotyping and police stops

ABSTRACT
This paper examines the disproportionate killings of Blacks in the United States of America by the police. I argue that the legal standards in the United States regulate the use of force by police officers, are tainted with bias and do not comply with international law. I further argue that that the grand jury process and prosecutors involved in prosecuting police officers who kill blacks are tainted with implicit bias. This results in impunity for these killings. I conclude with several recommendations on how to combat police brutality against blacks.
