What that statistic shows is that even if some white people can't bring themselves to get angry about police murdering black people they should at least be angry about police also murdering white people.

What that statistic definitely doesn't mean is that people shouldn't be angry about police murdering black people.

It does show however that the police very likely doesn't target people by skin color or that some is disproportionate violence. I am not from the US and I thought the numbers to be higher to be honest.
