Fact is, black people are disproportionately shot by police. Blacks make up approximately 13% of the US population. So far this year, 1,502 people have been shot and killed by on-duty police officers. Of them, 732 were white, and 381 were black (and 382 were of another or unknown race). That means blacks are fatally shot at a rate that's approximately 2.5 times more often than whites.
However.
There are facts that are regularly ignored because it helps explain why blacks are killed by police more often and why blacks are more likely to die after being shot and doesn't support the agenda of black victimization. Black people tend to live in areas where there is higher crime. Because of this, there is more policing in those areas. That leads to more interactions between law enforcement and blacks than there are in lower crime areas that are predominantly white.
Another reason for the higher fatality rate for black victims of police shootings are the medical care and response times in the areas that shootings take place. White areas generally have lower medical response times and better quality health care than lower income areas that are often higher crime areas that blacks often reside.
Blacks commit a significantly disproportionate amount of violent crime. Blacks commit more violent crimes against whites than whites against blacks, about twice as much. That is a fact. Here's some data that backs up the claim.

This shows what happens when you chart and then normalize the data to show crime rates sorted by race if population numbers are normalized.

Blacks are more likely to possess illegal firearms. Blacks are more likely to shoot at police. Blacks are more likely to flee police.

Law enforcement deaths are up 44% since this time last year. A significant reason is because of black violence against them.

I'm not even going to mention the societal and cultural relationships between blacks and law enforcement because it is nearly un-measurable but it's well known that there is a deep rooted hate for police within the black culture. Easy example.
All these reasons explain the tenuous relationships between blacks and law enforcement. Black Lives Matter and the media are portraying law enforcement as the
primary cause for the deaths but they really need to start protesting and pointing their fingers at blacks who continue to commit these violent crimes.
