Police Shootings

According to a Washington Post story, 2016 has seen nearly 900 incidents of fatal force by police officers. This year, names such as Keith Lamont Scott, Terence Crutcher, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were among the names added to hashtags this year.

Deadly attacks on officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge also heightened the country’s division on BlackLivesMatter and these social injustices.

BMWK, do you think we’ll see a change in how officers employ brutal force in 2017?
