Do you find the data at https://policeviolencereport.org/ any more convincing?

It uses similar data for 2017 and illustrates that 149 out of 1147 people killed by police during that year were unarmed (~12.9% of cases).

It also highlights some differences in the demographics of the people who suffered as a result of police violence; I mention that because it's relevant to these topics appearing on Hacker News currently.




Yes, this website is a lot better because it shows a lot of more context and in-depth look at the data instead of just showing a map of police shootings without explanation.
