Last year, more than 1,000 people were killed by police, according to research group Mapping Police Violence. Black people were disproportionately among those killed, accounting for 24% of those deaths, despite making up only about 13% of the population.
Those numbers are far higher than in other wealthy western countries.in 2015 that there was a total of 55 fatal police shootings in England and Wales between 1990 and 2014. Only 15 people were shot fatally by German police in 2010 and 2011 combined, the newspaper reported. The U.S. population is about six times that of England and Wales, and four times that of Germany.
The rate of police killings is highest in St. Louis, where police killed about 18 people per million residents annually between 2013 and 2019. In New York, where the rate of police killings was the lowest, police killed about 1.3 people per million residents in those years. Wilson was not charged with a crime and a 2015 report by the Department of Justice found that his actions were not "objectively unreasonable." But Brown's killing, and the phrase "Hands up, don't shoot!" became symbols of the Black Lives Matter movement that developed over subsequent years.Despite the large number of police killings annually, police are almost never charged for excessive force violations.
