That completely ignored the research. An NPR reporter participated in tests. He discovered he was quickest to draw and fire his weapon on a young black man. More interesting is that NPR reporter is black.

Emotion in a human brain creates that attitude. We can speculate why without facts. Some here will do that. Relevant is why all colors are quicker to assume a black man is a greater threat. That requires research and training. But it demonstrates what racism really is: judgement only on first impressions. Making a decision based in emotions and not on actual facts.
