Investigators allowed those misstatements — and others — to stand, despite having nearly a half-hour’s worth of body #camera footage that disproved them. latest in a string of cases where the FID seemed to ignore #evidence that was potentially damaging to #officers who killed people in the line of duty.

The Washington Post launched its Police Shooting Database in 2014, after police in Ferguson, Missouri shot #MichaelBrown, 24; before then, such specific #data was #inaccessible to the #public. We now know that U.S. police shoot roughly 1,000 people per year—the highest rate among “developed” nations—and Black Americans constitute at least 25 to 50 percent of victims, despite comprising only 12.4 percent of the U.S. population.
