Evidently from, "... news reports, public records, Internet databases, and original reporting"[1]
Going by their data, of the 258 Black people shot by police in 2015, 188 were armed with a deadly weapon, 20 with a vehicle, 5 wth a toy weapon, and 45 either unarmed or unknown.
If you accept toy weapons and vehicles as being armed, that is 82%, which is what I remember hearing.
