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.
