U.S. Police Killed at Least 1,232 People in 2023
------------------------------------------------

U.S. police forces killed over 1,200 people in 2023, making last year
the deadliest for murders at the hands of law enforcement in at least a
decade. That's according to data from the group Mapping Police Violence,
which showed an average of about three people killed by police daily.
This includes the fatal beating of 29-year-old Black father Tyre Nichols
in Memphis, who died one year ago today, after being assaulted by
officers from the elite SCORPION unit during a traffic stop.
