This is how many people police have killed so far in 2016

The year isn?t over yet, and police have already killed at least 800 people ? many of whom were unarmed, mentally ill, and people of color.

Police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week.

(See which police departments were responsible for these deaths)

Nearly 1 in 3 black people killed by police in 2015 were identified as unarmed, though the actual number is likely higher due to underreporting

37% of unarmed people killed by police were black in 2015 despite black people being only 13% of the U.S. population

Unarmed black people were killed at 5x the rate of unarmed whites in 2015


Line of Duty Deaths: 93

US police shootings: How many die each year?

800 to 93.

How many police were jailed?
