It's relatively easy to track with victim data.
Anti-police protests continue across America after the Michael Brown killing. But does the black community have tough questions to answer too?

And yes, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded in the data between 1980 and 2008. Only 45 per cent of the offenders were white. Homicide is a broader category than “murder” but let’s not split hairs.
What about violent crime more generally? FBI arrest rates are one way into this. Over the last three years of data – 2011 to 2013 – 38.5 per cent of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault were black.
Clearly, these figures are problematic. We’re talking about arrests not convictions, and high black arrest rates could be taken as evidence that the police are racist.
But academics have noted that the proportion of black suspects arrested by the police tends to match closely the proportion of offenders identified as black by victims in the National Crime Victimization Survey.
This doesn’t support the idea that the police are unfairly discriminating against the black population when they make arrests.
If anything, black people are getting away with unsolved violent crimes.
Gun violence runs amok in Chicago. The Police Department solved just 17 percent of homicides in 2017. This is a disaster for the city.

That wouldn't change anything. Wrongful convictions for murder would probably be like 2-5% (difference being even smaller), with the true criminal being the same race the vast majority of the time.
Edit: If your point was that wrongful conviction difference is a "racist" disparity, what say you about the gender disparities? It's obvious that it s a function of how much crime a group does. If a given group has more little shits, then they'll get saddled with worse generalizations. Ironically, the woke liberals do this with cops to a completely absurd degree.
Seriously? Your proof is a fact check article written in 2018, that uses statistics from 1980 to 2008, and 2013? You also cherry picked the 1980 to 2008 paragraph with the statistics that are 12 years old, because it fits your augment of blacks being responsible for over 50% of murders. But conveniently left out that 2013 paragraph because it shows that number is dropping, and was 38%. Of course, it's 2020, why isn't there any articles using more up to date numbers that can support your argument and support that police are not racist today? Why did the article written in 2018 only include statistics that where 5 or more years old, and nothing newer? It's pretty clear it was written to cover up and/or downplay the racism, otherwise they would have included more up to date statistics, which I cover a little more below.
However, your own information says arrests, not convictions. thanks for clearing that up, even though they are talking about violent crimes, not just murder, which is the only crime you where talking about.
The quote you included states exactly what I said, even though this is again, about violent crimes, not just murder:

Of course they try to downplay the racism here:

There are huge problems with this conclusion, which makes it just as much BS as your argument. First, the arrest are taken from the actual recorded count on record which is gathered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The victims who identify the offenders as black are from a survey of 120,000 to 240,000 interviews (current numbers), not actual records to back up their claim. So they are comparing actual count (arrests) to estimates based off surveys (offenders identified as black by victims), which equals NO accuracy and also allows the results to be influenced by racial motivations. Second, there is racism involved in who is considered a victim, and who isn't. If it's a black victim and a white offender, it tends to be over looked in areas that there is a racial problem with the police, or they don't report it at all because they know nothing will come of it due to the racism that takes place. There is also the fact that victims and witnesses, tend to confuse facts, including race, color, gender, clothing, height, etc. Hell, some victims of violent crimes invent "alternate versions" that they believe, but are not accurate, to allow them to mentally deal with the tragedy and move past it.
Thanks for the Chicago article written in 2018, that does nothing to support your argument. In fact, it deflates your argument. It's disturbing that you connect the term Minority to mean blacks. Specially since there have been more Hispanics than Blacks in Chicago since 2016.
