Of the total 987 deaths by police for 2017 Caucasian - 2016 percentage of pop: 76.9 * 987 would be: 759 This group total was actually: 457 or 46.3% African American - 2016 percentage of pop: 13.3 * 987 would be: 131 This group total was actually: 223 or 22.6%
That is a significant difference and nowhere near in line with population percentages. There may be some stories behind the shootings as the article you link to mentions. However, that article is relying on an article at the Marshall Project which was written by Heather Mac Donald who is the author of a book called "The War on Cops". A quick search on this shows quite a few articles claiming bias.
It took just 20 minutes of following sources and looking at available data to come to the conclusion that there are biases in your statements and sources. please do some more research and math in the future.
