Or more specifically, are more unarmed whites shot than blacks or hispanics?  I remember discussing this issue a few years ago and that data had not been compiled.

I could have sworn that the big study from like earlier this year or last year said that blacks are more likely to be "encountered" by police, but that whites are more likely to be shot. And we're talking ratio not total numbers.
