Police officers killed more than 1,100 people in 2020, according to Mapping Police Violence.
In 2020, there were just 18 days where police did not kill somebody, according to data collected by Mapping Police Violence.
Many dates saw upwards of four police killings in the same 24-hour period across the country, the database shows.
Mapping Police Violence shows more than 1,100 people were killed by police officers during 2020, 28% of whom were Black.
Despite making up nearly 30% of police killings, Black people only constitute 13% of the US population, according to US Census data.
Mapping Police Violence's database, which includes information on police killings since 2013, is sourced from the three "largest, most comprehensive and impartial crowdsourced databases" on police killings, including FatalEncounters.org, the US Police Shootings Database, and KilledbyPolice.net, the group says.
In the first 106 days of 2021, police have already killed at least 268 people, according to Mapping Police Violence, averaging out to more than two deaths a day. »
