There were only 15 days in 2021 where police did not kill someone 👉 U.S. Police killed 1027 people in 2020 👉 98.3% of killings by police from 2013-2020 did not result in a officers being charged in a crime. 👉 Only 7 cops nationwide have been convicted of murder since 2005 👉 Only 1 of the 100 largest city police departments did not kill anyone from Jan 2013 - Dec 2020 (Irvine, CA) 👉 An overwhelming majority of people shot and killed by police are male, over 95 percent. More than half the victims are between 20 and 40 years old. 👉 Although half of the people shot and killed by police are White, Black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate. They account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of White Americans 👉 Despite a 2014 federal law that requires data collection from local law enforcement agencies regarding deaths during arrests, as well as deaths in prisons, jails and detention centers, little data exists Sources: https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/ https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/police-killings-by-country https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/ https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/20/us/police-convicted-murder-rare-chauvin/index.html
