No one knows for sure, but The Counted explores the more than 500 deaths in 2015 we do know about.
How many people do American police kill every year? It's a question that should have a concrete answer, yet no one really knows: no government agency transparently and accurately reports the total number of Americans killed every year by police officers. This despite the fact that media reports suggest that American police kill more people in an average month than the U.K. police killed last century. In the wake of high-profile killings of Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, and scores of others, it's a statistical blind spot that needs addressing more than ever.
