Well, the source (URL in the bottom-right corner) *does* say “killed by police”, so I guess we can eliminate that bit of confusion. Even so, I call bullshit on it in general. I live in Oregon and no way we’ve had that many people killed by police in the last sixteen months!
“police killings”? could be the number of police killed, or the number of civilians killed by police. sloppy fucking journalism.
I was thinking the same thing. Pretty sure North Carolina doesn’t have that many of either. I am disappoint, I come here for the news.

Also, it’s cumulative, so it looks much more awful than it should.

8? 8 is too many? there’s that many killed in a month in florida
If it’s only 8, it should fill up the state on the map. That’s bad journalism.
*Shouldn’t. Now that’s bad editing.
Wait, what if it’s police killed by police?
All I have to say is live by the state borders. They look pretty safe.
I read that, on average, the police in the U.S. kills a person every nine hours.
And, they kill a dog every hour and a half.
