I am not going to google for you, but from what I have seen, the statistical evidence for more fatalities to blacks at the hands of police is weak, but for more harassment at the hands of police is strong.  Also strong evidence of close DA-police cooperation making prosecution of police in general problematic, regardless of the race of the victim of alleged police violence, and strong evidence at least some departments have a culture of racism.

I won't put out a BLM yard sign myself, nor do I regularly repost their memes (in part for reasons above), but there is enough there that I am glad they have raised concerns, and at least some of the solutions they have proposed seem unassailable, regardless of how the data plays out on differential (unjustified) police violence by race.   So I can't see being upset by BLM signs, nor do I see it as a war on cops.
