Neither of those statements indicate a racial disparity in police response by themselves.
If you don't understand why....perhaps read the study I posted and see how it's done.
I found this article commenting on the paper you linked
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/07/21/paper-finding-no-racial-bias-shootings-police-criticized/87301632/
Interesting though his main criticism of the paper is a bit ah...subjective (below). Seems more like he's manipulating data for an outcome tbh.
I had a look at the author and he seems to have based his career on race relations which makes me worried about his impartiality too.
'The CPE report acknowledges three problems with measuring police force: measuring "excessive" force against all force, measuring differences in police use of force, and measuring force incidents as unchanging rather than constantly changing. Goff said Fryer neither acknowledges these concepts nor deals with them as problems.'
