In capitalist America, police violence is a leading cause of death in some communities. What the police do is evil.

So 2024 police have killed 3 people per day so far?

Every 8 hours, a US civilian dies at the hands of the police.

This is the tragic reality of life in the US and we must do what we can to change it.

Please consider donating just $2 per month so we may equip our officers with more militarised weapons which will allow us to vastly increase those numbers.

Those are rookie numbers.

On average, yes. It is.. democide. extrajudicial summary killings.

edit: we may never know the full scope. historically, but even now. the departments hold the records so Academia has to estimate. I remember, one of the ones that just came out was almost 3 years old, but the police and courts kept it hidden.
