According to this narrative, black men are constantly harassed by the police and routinely brutalized with impunity, even when they have done nothing wrong, and there is an “epidemic of police shootings of unarmed black men.” Even high-profile black celebrities often claim to be afraid of the police because the same thing might happen to them.

Not a surprise. It's just the leftist media doing the bidding of their political overlords. The party of identity politics needs racial unrest to make gains and their lapdogs in the media do their level best to provide said unrest.
