These data , from statista & security.org, show we have a real problem with police killings in the USA. First, per 100000 population, the US IS WAY off from other wealthy democracies 
Second, the cause of death, overwhelmingly, is gunshot
Third, the statistics vary dramatically by state, but disproportionately impact people of color.

Makiah Bryant, a 16yo Black girl, was murdered by police who she had called for help. They arrived and instead of breaking up a fight between girls, they shot her 4 times.

There is a hierarchy of protection: the further we are from wealthy, white, cisgender, heterosexual, able bodied men, the less likely we are to be protected.
I wrote that essay on Sunday, but can post it daily with a new name of a Black or person of colour police kill in the US.

And I don't give a fuck about what police say or their fucked up "reasons" for killing Makiah. They murdered a teenage girl. Who the fuck shoots a girl four times except thugs in a uniform who are licensed to kill? Fuck the police.
