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.
