Exclusive: groundbreaking Mapping Police Violence data estimates scale of physical force and civilian injuries

Police in the US use force on at least 300,000 people each year, injuring an estimated 100,000 of them, according to a groundbreaking data analysis on law enforcement encounters.

Mapping Police Violence, a non-profit research group that tracks killings by US police, launched a new database on Wednesday cataloging non-fatal incidents of police use of force, including stun guns, chemical sprays, K9 dog attacks, neck restraints, beanbags and baton strikes.

The database features incidents from 2017 through 2022, compiled from public records requests in every state. The findings, the group says, suggest that despite widespread protests against police brutality following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, overall use of force has remained steady since then – and in many jurisdictions, has increased.

    They psych warded me twice recently. In EU country. I did similar things. Like calling them fascist. Over 4 months total for being reasonable. They claim psychosis and enforce anti-psychotic. It’s fascism here in EU too.

    Edit: I’m attempting euthanasia now I can’t take it anymore. That’s why my name is ded.

    The whole thing legit goes like this: I get severe heart problems (likely myocarditis) due to an infection (likely covid), after having mild heart problems after a single pfizer shot (for covid) (I mention the pfizer shot in the 2 hospitals) > I go to two hospitals, they don’t help me and claim psychosis > I contact police, they tell me to contact public prosecutor > I contact public prosecutor and with them it’s without consequences > I call them (public prosecutor) murdering cult and whatever > The next day police breaks in and I get psych warded for about a month (with the fucking heart condition they in there present helping with, but don’t, it’s not real they claim) > More recently I called out fascism etc, got psych warded for over 3 months. They’re going to keep increasing that next time.

    They (police and nurses) also tied me nude to a bed after they broke in and kidnapped me in my home for the first time. With a creepy camera in the room. I thought they were going to fry my brains or something in that creepy room.

    I keep making edits. I have to say this: They intentionally tried to break me, and they broke me.
