This is wrong.
https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/unarmed lists 1ists at least 104 unarmed black people alone killed by police in 2015.
I went though the first 20, and maybe 8 could have been accidents (one was hit by a car) or otherwise explained (2 pointed toy guns at police).
But even then, half of the cases sound like accidents, out of 104. The remaining is pretty close to 47.
There are plenty of sites that count the number of killings, but this is one of the few that looks for unarmed ones. If you are aware of better or more recent stats (for example the source of this 47 number) I'd love a link.

I find it mind-boggling that killing 52 unarmed people by accident is somehow the best case scenario here.

This is an extremely misleading website and not a reliable source.
