A couple of months ago, I highlighted the horrifying fact that U.S. police killed more civilians in March than UK police killed in 100 years. With May 2015 in the history book, we now have some updated stats, and the results are not pretty. 464 Americans have been killed by police so far this year, which amounts to more than three deaths every single day. If you don’t think this is a problem, I don’t know how to help you.
The Guardian put together an incredible list of all 464 people killed by date, as well as a summary of the circumstances of their deaths.
You can check out the details here.

Lighten up Mike; they’re just keeping us safe.
Yeah, Mike: once you’re dead, you’re safe as can be. Thank you, Pigs, for so kindly dispatching us taxpayers who foot your bills!

If you believe the British police haven’t killed hundreds you must have missed what the British did in Ireland or during any number of labor disputes. You really ought to call the crips the next time you need help.
