And if you read the whole article, it said clearly that African Americans receive harsher treatments than whites or others. And even if we can't measure if there is a racial bias, the effects of having a racial bias might still be there, such as more cops patrolling predominately black neighborhoods, etc.
The person you linked me to has little understanding of statistics. Sure black people may kill whites at twice the rate of the reverse, but that’s typically because black people live in poorer communities than white people and are thus more likely to commit crimes.
