This list is super suspicious. As of the middle of April:

All but one is from Texas. Really? All were killed by gunshot. The count is 79% lower than last year at this time, when Walter Scott, Freddie Gray and 26 other unarmed Blacks had already been killed. Sure, numbers go up and down from year to year, but by that much? Only 10% of Blacks killed by police were unarmed. That is also suspiciously low. The more common rate is 30% to 45%. The racial disparities are also markedly lower.

I will update this list throughout the year.
