The Crisis We Face From 2015 to 2019 more than 5500 people were killed by US law enforcement. Those killed were often disproportionately minority citizens living in Native American African American and Latino communities many of whom were experiencing a mental health emergency.

Many of these incidents can be linked directly to a series of training failures that also encourage a culture after training that is marked by a lack of accountability particularly in response to excessive unreasonable and unnecessary useofforce.
