Additional notes/

It's worth mentioning that there is no contextual data available for or against anything listed here which is a typical issue with using any federal data, not just in this subject.
The cause of fatalities, the ethnicity of the cop responsible, the extent of the crime listed or the background/situation that leads to a prison sentence in one case but not another (etc etc to infinity) are all unlisted, so take all the information with a grain of salt for both directions.

The point of the information above however isn't to determine whether there is (for example) some crime committed by some cop, or some judge employing harsher sentences because of racial mentality (that would have to be on a case-by-case basis)
but rather to see if there is evidence of an institutionalised racial system at play that effects blacks more than whites. .

The result is that there doesn't appear to be any (overall) harsher penalties on a national percentage basis. Blacks are not (or not particularly) more likely to be sentenced for crimes or killed in an arrest -- Whites are also (according to the data) no less likely to be arrested, incarcerated or killed...There is no apparent evidence available that blacks are being more oppressed or whites are receiving preferential treatment.

What exactly you would expect to find in a racially oppressive system is subjective, but personally looking at the data I would have anticipated (atleast) a higher total arrest number, fatality and prison population of blacks than whites which would give a significant disparity, yet the totals of relevant black data shows that the numbers are both lower and proportional.
