RSN: Marc Ash | It's Actually Much Worse Than Kaepernick Says It Is, Keith Lamont Scott's Family Calls for Charlotte Police to Release Video of His Killing

This is what the World sees about American Police Killings [excerpt of article below]: 

Far from overstating the scope of the problem, these young men and women often struggle to put into perspective how big and pervasive the problem really is.
According to The Guardian UK’s ongoing count, U.S. police have already killed 790 people this year alone, as of this writing. Last year the total number exceeded 1200. Yes, absolutely, African Americans are killed in disproportionate numbers. But the killing is by no means limited to blacks. Native Americans are in fact the hardest hit proportionally, according to the Guardian’s analysis. Blacks are second, based on a per capita breakdown. In terms of total numbers, the largest category is whites: 387 so far this year.
However, the statistics do little to convey the historic magnitude of the killing. These numbers are totally unprecedented. Nothing like this is happening anywhere else in the world.
