Michael Brown. Eric Garner. Walter Scott. Freddie Gray. How many Black and
brown people are killed by police every year? Even as communities of color
suffer great losses, national leaders are not collecting data on the scale
of police use of force and violence, although a bill recently passed by
Congress gives the attorney general all the power necessary to gather this
critical information.

It's time for the Department of Justice to collect and publish official
nationwide data on police killings, the use of force, and arrests, broken
down by race and other demographic factors. When doing this, the DOJ must
provide key privacy protections, including the exclusion of personally
identifying information and deportation immunity for civilians.
