And honestly Men are much more violent and commit far more violent crime then women, its only natural that they should get shot more often. The relevant rate is number killed per number of violent encounters.

The kill shot is this, per the Obama 2011 report Homicide Trends in the United States 1980-2008.

“Blacks were disproportionately represented as both homicide victims and offenders…. The offending rate for blacks (34.4 per 100,000) was almost 8 times higher than the rate for whites (4.5 per 100,000).”

That is almost the same as the difference between men and women (Roughly 9 to 1). In other words, if cops killed the same number of each race for any given amount of murders, per capita you would expect about 8 times as many blacks to be shot as whites. The actual per capita rate is about 2-4 times, depending on time time frame. Blacks are actually under represented considering how many murders they commit.

Asians incidentally, commit fewer violent crimes then whites, and tend to actually be shot less, although the differences are not huge. They also make more money then whites.
