Wikipedia Has a ‘List of Unarmed African Americans Killed by Law Enforcement Officers in the United States’ and It’s Exactly as Disturbing as You’d Expect
This is a list of African Americans reportedly killed while unarmed by non-military law enforcement officers in the United States. Events are listed whether they took place in the line of duty or not, and regardless of reason or method. The listing documents the occurrence of a death, making no implications regarding wrongdoing or justification on the part of the person killed or officer involved.
The first entry is Henry Truman, from 1870.
