U.S. Police Violence Visualized (2013-2020)

Saddened by the Murder of the George Floyd, we have visualized the number of police killings per capita using publicly available data from 2013 to May 25, 2020. We hope the recognition of this ongoing tragedy finally leads to meaningful changes in our police force. Each red dot is one person killed by the police with the coordinates of the incident location. The color of each state represents the number of police killings per 1 million population since 2013 on a white to dark red scale. As illustrated in this video, police killings statistics varies dramatically across America’s states and cities. Data shows U.S. police forces killed 8,066 from 01/01/2013 to 05/25/2020, with an average of nearly 3 killings per day. These numbers are far higher than any other wealthy western country. Despite public uprisings like the Ferguson 2014, after the death of Michael Brown, the rate of people killed by police remains very high. In comparison, The Guardian newspaper reported in 2015 that there was a total of 55 fatal police shootings in England and Wales between 1990 and 2014. Only 15 people were shot fatally by German police in 2010 and 2011 combined, the newspaper reported. The U.S. population is about six times that of England and Wales, and four times that of Germany. George Floyd, 46, was killed in police custody in Minneapolis, MN, on May 25 2020. Video footage taken by bystanders shows a police officer kneeling on Floyd’s neck as the unarmed man lay handcuffed and cried out that he could not breathe to death. ** Data Source ** The data used in this visualization is compiled according to the Mapping Police Violence dataset (2013-2019) and the Washington Post U.S police fatal shooting dataset (2015-2020). https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/ https://github.com/washingtonpost/dat...
