917 People Killed by US Police in 2016

by | Nov 11, 2016

As of Armistice Day 2016, 917 people have been killed by US police, according to The Guardian’s ongoing project, The Counted. Bookmarking the site is highly recommended, as it is updated frequently with new data and links detailing the individual cases and circumstances surrounding each death.

The Counted is the most thorough public accounting for deadly use of force in the US, but it will operate as an imperfect work in progress – and will be updated by Guardian reporters and interactive journalists as frequently and as promptly as possible.
