And then there are the studies from Washington State, a lengthy data review from Harvard, plus Aveni's work on actions & behavior vs appearence & race.
None of it fits "the narrative" though.

This is at least the second study to find that black officers are more likely to shoot black suspects. The first was Aveni's study on shootings in ambiguous situations. Both authors dance around the topic like it's a land mine.
Recent Study:
"We found that the race of the officer doesn't matter when it comes to predicting whether black or white citizens are shot," Cesario said. "If anything, black officers are more likely to shoot black citizens, but this is because black officers are drawn from the same population that they police. So, the more black citizens in a community, the more black police officers there are."
Aveni's Study:
"the regression and correlation tables (See: “Correlation for Instances Where Subject was Unarmed”) reflect a significant relationship between black participants and deadly force usage against unarmed suspects. In essence, the (.777) frequency in which participating black officers used deadly force against unarmed subjects in this study was twice that of the aggregate participant average. If we were to factor in the one black officer who shot two unarmed subjects, the (unarmed suspect) shooting frequency (.888) rises even more."
