People shot to death by U.S. police 2017-2024, by race
Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 1,173 civilians having been shot, 248 of whom were Black, as of December 2024. In 2023, there were 1,164 fatal police shootings. Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 6.1 fatal shootings per million of the population per year between 2015 and 2024.
Police brutality in the U.S.
In recent years, particularly since the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, police brutality has become a hot button issue in the United States. The number of homicides committed by police in the United States is often compared to those in countries such as England, where the number is significantly lower.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidThe jury didn't buy that, did they?
floyd died from a heart attack
EDIT: More precisely, one autopsy determined ""he experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest in the context of law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression."
"It was the stress of that interaction that tipped him over the edge given his underlying heart disease and his toxicological status," he said."
Another:
"determined "asphyxiation from sustained pressure" was the cause of his death, and it found "neck and back compression" caused a "lack of blood flow to the brain."

Either determination supports a murder conviction.
@no1marauder saidSo what. Were they playing Sctabble?
