In capitalist America, police violence is a leading cause of death in some communities. What the police do is evil.
https://mappingpoliceviolence.org
The site states the most common race and ethnicity to be killed by police is Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, but there’s no further data. When I search outside of the site, I find statistics that lump Asian Americans in with Pacific Islanders. 110 deaths is a very large percentage of a relatively small population.
Does anyone have more information on this statistic?
I have found this paper for 2013–2019: Disaggregating Asian American and Pacific Islander Risk of Fatal Police Violence by Gabriel L. Schwartz and Jaquelyn L. Jahn https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0274745
the mapping police violence site’s methodology page indicates their database is entirely original. So for anything with their data specifically your best bet would be to reach out to them directly
Thanks! I’ll look into it.
Could i get a tally on how many cops we’ve killed?
23 in 2023, down from 63 in 2022.
These are rookie numbers.
Not nearly enough.
Such an edge Lord.
American cops are fucked but so are your people. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of either.
The fuck you mean “your people” what kinda of racist shit is that?

Mmm… But it’s not is it?
Does that include the ones they murder in jail by neglect, starvation, overheating, refusing medical care, etc?
No, these are just the ones they couldn’t cover up.
Interesting. Could you post the total number of Deaths by shooting in the US as a reference?
That slike 4 mass shootings. I’m not great at math.
75 mass shootings
