In the struggle to overcome bias, there’s no obstacle more entrenched or effective than the conceit that you’re exempt. You’re fair, you’re rational, you’re objective. Mac Donald cites data that show blacks are more likely than whites to commit homicide. She says these numbers “rebut the charge that racism, not crime, determines the incidence of police shootings.” French goes further. He complains that in the warped ideology of police critics, “Evidence, experience, and probabilities are completely irrelevant when it comes time to cleanse the mind of ‘bias.’ ” But the use of racial probabilities to rationalize the fatal shootings of retreating, unarmed men isn’t a refutation of bias. It’s a replication of it.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/10/implicit_bias_is_real_don_t_be_so_defensive_mike_pence.html

The author in no way rebuts Heather MacDonald's argument that the fact blacks murder at a rate higher than whites is evidence that black criminality, rather than "implicit bias", is why police shoot blacks at a higher rate than whites. He just acknowledges Macdonald's point and then MOVES ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED.

I don't understand the author's point. This is basically what happened:

"One response to allegations of bias in policing is to be rational and say that we're not racist. For example, Heather macdonald points out a statistic that is evidence that black criminality, and not racism, explains why police shoot blacks at higher rates than whites. But this just denies racism, which is evidence of racism."
