This is why every study undertaken that has properly controlled for this sort of behavior, or other incidental factors, has found that per capita rates of police violence aren't disproportionately affecting blacks.
*Update*
He was arrested after officers were forced to issue a warrant to the NFAC allowing them to search a property owned by (a member or members of) their group. He was founded heavily armed in a treehouse on the property.

Atlanta police join search for Othal Wallace
It's remarkable how similar his hostile recalcitrance is to those shot by police elsewhere championed as victims; including, ironically, by people exactly like him. The officer's mere act of asking questions is immediately interpreted as intolerable aggression. I've seen that before many times, and it usually leads to an altercation where the suspect is subdued, but later cries that he was abused, and the race card is played. Unfortunately, in this instance, the officer was shot in the head. Bodycam footage in this link:ATLANTA, Ga. – Atlanta police searched for a man on Thursday who was linked to the shooting of a Daytona Beach police officer a day earlier.
DBPD investigators said Othal Wallace, 29, was seen on police body camera shooting Officer Jayson Raynor and leaving in a car with California license plates.
A Black milita-style group called NFAC confirmed Wallace used to be a member of their organization.
NFAC was seen in the past year at several rallies across the nation supporting victims of police shootings, such as Breonna Taylor.
Debbie James, a spokeswoman for NFAC Global, told News 6 Wallace was terminated from their group in January.
“It doesn’t even really exist no more. The NFAC. It’s pretty much over,” Brandon Oliver said.
Oliver said Wallace -- also known as Ozone -- was not involved with the group anymore, and he had turned his life over to God...
Oliver challenged what led up to Wallace being stopped by Raynor in the first place, and he said he had questions about what led up to the shooting.
He also feared Wallace may not make it out of his run from law enforcement alive.
“Nobody wants him killed,” Oliver said. “If anything, Ozone, I will tell you to turn yourself into the police. Turn yourself into the police because the only thing they want to do is kill you.”
