He isn't wrong. The study shows blacks are less likely to be shot than whites by 24%. I can't find what you quoted, but here's my copypasta of the link:

Blacks are 23.8 percent
less
likely to be shot by police, relative to whites. Hispanics are 8.5
percent less likely to be shot but the coecient is statistically insigni cant.

I linked the actual paper the guy wrote. The paper that article is quoting. The paper that lists that stat and then says it isn't statistically significant.

To not be statistically significant means that you he could have easily found that result in his data set even if whites weren't being shot at more than blacks.

Things that were significant was that every other category of violent interaction (gun pointed at them, thrown to the ground, tazed, etc), blacks suffered at much higher rates than other races
