based on 2015 data it's closer to 30% - https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/unarmed

I don't see that on this page. I see "police killed at least 104 unarmed black people in 2015", and "unarmed black people were killed at 5x the rate of unarmed whites in 2015".

So I think that makes around 125-130 unarmed people killed by police. [1] says that there were 1,134 people killed that year by police.

125/1134 = 11%

Next point under the 104 figure "36% of unarmed people killed by police were black in 2015" 36% is 104, 100% is 289

How can the 36% and the 5x numbers both be correct? I'm puzzled!!

Also that's still "only" 25% that are unarmed.

one is absolute numbers, other is per million.
