Given that there are 5 times as many white folks as black in the US, that stat isn't saying what you think it is. Black people are still more likely to be shot

Black people are still more likely to be shot than white people.
I don't think that anyone reasonable ever claimed that the police were 'wholesale killing young unarmed black males,' just that it happens too often.
