It doesn't work to conflate the two entirely different points. BLM is concerned primarily with the issue of why AA are disproportionally the victims of police violence. Even if it's accepted that AAs commit disproportionately more crime (than whom?) does not mean that individual AAs deserve to be shot, so we are deflected away from the first statement by the second. Crime is invariably committed by the poorest and most disadvantaged in any society, whatever the race. The two points you make both raise, but do not resolve, issues of civil rights and racism, the second point certainly does not explain the first.
Not sure the point you're making about Chris Rock. It's a routine about an uneducated criminal underclass, that could have been titled Us nice normal folks v Neds rather than Black People v N*****. It's like Kevin Bridges talking about the neds he grew up with. It's not racist, it's social commentary.
