marxvx:justice4mikebrown:As of July 25, at least 100 people have been killed by police this month alone. 115 is the record for most people killed in a month.July 25 is the 206th day of the year and at least 657 people have been killed by police so far in 2015.The deadliest month in Iraq for US soldiers was November of 2004, in which 141 soldiers were killed. If the source in the above post is true, 111 American civilians have been killed by police in July of 2015. If the number of civilians killed by United States police were a month in the Iraq War, it would be one of the deadliest months on record. If we look at casualty numbers for Afghanistan, the number of civilians killed by police in July of 2015 is greater than the number of American casualties for any month during the war in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2015. America is quite literally a war zone for black people, and police are the combatants. -- source link
