In Canada, we are only 3.5% of the population but are somehow stopped at twice the rate of white citizens. I would love to slay your argument with numbers but since Canada refuses to collect data by demographic (which I suspect is done to keep the misinformation hidden) I can't provide solid numbers.

In Europe, they combine Black, Asian and all other minority ethnic groups , which of course is to skew the data. A simple breakdown of that combined group will show you YET AGAIN that you are absolutely incorrect. https://irr.org.uk/research/statistics/criminal-justice/

Yes, i'm sure that black people are stopped more frequently. This will lead to them getting hit more on small crimes, because they are policed more.

But there are some crimes, especially in the stats you linked, that indicate that the rate of crime is objectively higher. Murder, violent crime, rape, etc where you have a victim that can act as objective evidence would indicate that the black crime rate is extremely high, and not a consequence of policing. From that, I would assume the increased policing comes from seeing that.
