Police have killed 1,147 people in the U.S. in 2017.

Black people were 25% (282) of those killed despite being only 13% percent of the population

There were only 14 days in 2017 where police did not kill someone.


Victims

Vincint D Palmer, 26, White, Unarmed
Death by Gunshot/taser
An unwanted man was reported at a home. Vincent Palma, who was in the driveway, charged at a deputy after failing to obey commands to stop. The deputy shocked Palma with his Taser. As the deputy radioed for assistance, police say he fired warning shots into the ground. The deputy then used his baton "with no effect" before shooting and killing Palma.

Name withheld by police
Death by Gunshot 
Police received a call about a suicidal man who was armed with a handgun. After an hour of negotiations, the man started to come towards officers with his gun pointed at them and was not listening to commands, and he was shot and killed.

Luis Fernando Pacheho, 26, Hispanic 
Death by Gunshot
Police said one person died in a shooting involving three CHP officers, who were not injured. Officers were involved in a confrontation with an armed suspect, police said. It is unclear what led up to the shooting, but the three officers were driving in separate patrol cars before they all fired their weapons. Later reports suggest it was an attempted carjacking.


Outcome

A series of GIFs highlighting police brutality and the ridiculousness of some laws
