In the U.S. 1,000+ people died after law enforcement officers used “less-lethal” force.

No more than a third of the cases the AP identified are listed in federal mortality data as involving law enforcement at all.

Really important work.

“Every day, police subdue people w/ physical restraints, Tasers & other kinds of force that doesnt involve guns.

But, as w/ George Floyd, these encounters can still end in death — even when the force is not excessive.

We documented more than 1,000 deaths over a decade.”
