Is this really how black people are being treated in the US? There are not many black people ( I'd say its less than 1% ) in the conutry I live in so to I'm unable to understand this madness.

It is not nearly an accurate representation of the truth. It's a political game the leftists play with the media in thier pockets, and always seems to flare up and become a new headline during an election year.

There are laws, policy, and training in place for every one of these incidents. Far more white people are killed by police than any other race. 99.999% of all incidents are justified by law. And the one's that aren't, appropriate action is taken.
The problem is within the race culture itself. The leftist politicians have made the black race think they are, and will always be the victims. When a black man dies while attacking police, the whole black community lowers themselves to the level of the criminal, and cries for "justice" for the criminal. Most other races have a more level headed approach and see the criminal who fought or attacked police as just a criminal, rather than playing the race card.

Then politicians and leftist extremist come up with catchy phrases, such as "UNARMED BLACK MAN.", but when you look at the actual cases individually a little deeper.... you'll find the label 'UNARMED" does not always mean they did not pose a deadly threat. 80% of the UNARMED black men killed by police this year were actually actively attacking the police quite violently.
You'll find maybe 2 truly unjustified deaths per year, out of a population of 330 million.

Then they try to throw statistics at you, and they stop evaluating statistics when they find the one they want.
Even though more whites are killed by police interaction than blacks, they'll then throw out a justification of "well, blacks only make up 24% of the population", so they say blacks are more likely to die at the hands of police than whites, based on the make up of the overall population. They stop there.... without evaluating one of the most important data points..... that approx 50% of ALL violent crime (murder,rape,robbery,assault) is committed by 1.4% of the overall population, being black males age 18-35. 1.4% of the population is responsible for half of all violent crime, and of course, would have a much greater probability f dealing with the police than the average citizens.
Take Mr Floyd for example. A violent career criminal in and out of jail for 2 decades. Arrested at least 10 times. Don't you think he's rolling the dice every time he commits a crime? One of these times, he's bound to find a cop that'll do something wrong. He's increased his odds by constantly creating the police interaction. The police didnt go looking for him, the were called to investigate him for a crime.

But the political powers that be, want you to look at a particular talking point, and not the big picture. Also a great distraction from other political issues going on at the same time. Has anyone in the media even mentioned that Hillary Clinton lost and appeal and has to testify regarding Obama-era corruption? Nope, nothing to see her folks.... look at the 0.0000002 % thing over there.
