Explanations for racial discrepancies include:

- Discrimination by law enforcement

- Childhood exposure to violence

- Inability to post bail

- Socioeconomic factors

- Housing segregation

- Sociocultural factors

This is pretty well-known stuff. Please educate yourself.

None of that changes that the disproportionate statistics about arrest and police violence stem from disproportionate criminality.

They’re reasons why that disproportionate criminality happens.

Also, that discrepancies in outcomes are caused by differences in behavior between groups isnt “well known” — and is even lied about in the US media.

This is an extremely tautological statement, unless you misspoke.

It's not a tautology, it's a feedback loop. If a group has or is perceived to have a higher rate of criminality, they will be treated in ways which reinforce criminal tendencies and promote more criminal behavior. A "self-fulfilling prophecy", if you will.
