I doubt it. But the crime stats support that theory more than the theory of targeting blacks.
Given that blacks commit a mind blowing 5 times more murders, yet are only killed in dangerous encounters with cops at about 3 times the rate of whites. It certainly appears cops are either targeting whites more, or, being extra careful when confronted with blacks not to make a bad kill (because of fear of being labeled racist killer if they make a mistake).
The second theory makes more sense. Despite a few exceptions, it looks like cops are going the extra mile to avoid killing blacks, while not being as careful with whites, resulting in an out of proportion killing of more whites.
