- 27% of U.S. police killings between January 2013 - June 2017 were committed by police departments of the 100 largest U.S. cities.
- Black people were 39% of people killed by these 100 police departments despite being only 21% of the population in their jurisdictions.
- Only 1 of the 100 largest city police departments did not kill anyone from Jan 2013 - Jun 2017 (Irvine, CA).
- 48% of unarmed people killed by the 100 largest city police departments were black. These police departments killed unarmed black people at a rate 4 times higher than unarmed white people.
- Rates of violent crime in cities did not make it any more or less likely for police departments to kill people.
For example, Buffalo and Newark police departments had low rates of
police violence despite high crime rates while Spokane and Bakersfield
had relatively low crime rates and high rates of police violence.

It's getting more and more serious. There have already been a lot of sad cases of police misconduct and violence, followed by a big number of victims. I know that this organization https://www.aaappp.org.uk/ was created to protect people from such illegal actions.
