This site says it's normally close to 2x more unarmed white people shot, so it would still be less per capita. It's still a relatively small number for both; a mid-teens amount of unarmed black people, and a mid to high 20s unarmed white people.

Note that we are not sure how many folks are killed by police every year let alone the demographics of those deaths. But even the data we have doesn't look good.

US police departments are not required to provide this information. It must be collected ad hoc by outside orgs.

Many reports will (I kid you not) list sickle cell disease as cause of death during a police stop.
