How Many People Are Killed By Police In The US?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Washington Post counted 1,096 people in the U.S. who were shot and killed by police in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In previous years, about as many people – around 1,000 annually – have died this way. <\/strong><\/p>\n

While the race of more than a third of those killed by police in 2022 is not known, 389 of the deceased were white, while 224 were Black. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This equals 52 percent and 30 percent, respectively, of those for whom a race is known. The share of Black people is elevated here, keeping in mind that only close to 14 percent of Americans belong to that race group.<\/p>\n

Around 58 percent of those shot and killed by police\u00a0carried a gun<\/a>\u00a0themselves. <\/strong><\/p>\n

But in the case of more than 180 people, they were either unarmed or it is unknown whether they carried a weapon. In 17 cases, the deceased had been seen with a replica weapon that was mistaken for the real thing.<\/p>\n

Out of the 1,096 killed, 138 were listed as having shown signs of mental illness.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
