Here's the report from FiveThirtyEight, headlined "Police Are Killing Fewer People In Big Cities, But More In Suburban And Rural America." Samuel Sinyangwe reports:
While the nationwide total of people killed by police nationwide has remained steady, the numbers have dropped significantly in America’s largest cities, likely due to reforms to use-of-force policies implemented in the wake of high-profile deaths. Those decreases, however, have been offset by increases in police killings in more suburban and rural areas. It seems that solutions that can reduce police killings exist, in other words — the issue may be whether an area has the political will to enact them.
