Though the data increase is disturbing, few mainstream media outlets have reported on it this year, with most focusing their attention on Donald Trump’s presidency.
While the focus on Trump’s presidency is great, we must not fail to notice the rate of police killings of American citizens is higher than any month in 2016 according to killedbypolice.net.
