Mapping Police Violence Database

The creators are Samuel Sinyangwe, DeRay McKesson, and Johnetta Elzie.

It’s a database that maps out police violence across the United states. It has a variety of interactive maps, so you can choose what information you want to compare. You can compare police violence between states or cities. You can view police scorecards where police departments all over the United States have been given a grade. It also features a yearly police violence report where you can view people who have been killed by police in 2020, where it shows the reason police were called, the race, gender of the people etc. It gives a variety of data on how many people were killed by police for nonviolent crimes, traffic violations, and mental health crises that the public wouldn’t normally be aware of.

This data provides access to information on police brutality that is generally not released to the public.

None that I am aware of.

You should have some knowledge of the disturbing reality that is police brutality in the United States.
