Blacks more likely to be:

pushed
handcuffed
sprayed
beaten
drawn weapons
shoved to the ground
hands

But when it comes to being shot, it's about the same according to this study.

I read this, too, after Fox News turn it into rightwing propaganda. The sites he used for research have larger black populations than most and all in the southern area of the U.S. (Houston; Austin, Tex.; Dallas; Los Angeles; Orlando, Fla.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and four other counties in Florida.) and he also used police reports, filed by the responding officers, for his study. Houston is one of the cities he used and if there isn't any kind of racial profiling and prejudice there, then it's not anywhere.
