Deaths from Police Violence Undercounted Study Finds
New research published in the journal The Lancet shows that official government statistics have undercounted deaths at the hands of U.S. police by more than half over the last 40 years.
At least 1,055 people were shot and killed by police during 2021, the highest number since the Washington Post began tracking killings by police officers.

The study says that officers are able to work with coroners and other officials at the local level to rewrite their own stories about what happened, which ultimately changes the cause of death for the people they kill.
