Compared to their numbers in the overall population, an unarmed black man is about four times more likely to be killed

Lol, that's dumb. Blacks and whites have different arrest rates. You need to control for number of arrests, not population size. Of course more blacks are going to get shot per capita if they commit more crime.

I'll point you again to the last link:

We find that, across several circumstances of police killings and their objective reasonableness, Black suspects are more than twice as likely to be killed by police than are persons of other racial or ethnic groups; even when there are no other obvious circumstances during the encounter that would make the use of deadly force reasonable. - source
