More than half of police killings in the US are unreported in government data, study finds
Summary by Ground News
A study published Thursday in a medical journal estimated a federal database failed to count more than 50% of deaths attributable to police violence. The study’s authors concluded that police have been involved in more than 30,000 deaths between 1980 and 2018. The researchers estimated roughly 56% — or 17,100 — of the deaths were not recorded in the National Vital Statistics System.
