A Washington Post tally found that police officers in the US had fatally shot nearly 1,000 people a year since 2015. The Post says this year seems to be on a similar pace, with 463 people killed in police shootings so far. Most of the people were armed, and about half were white, but The Post did find that Black people had been killed at disproportionate rates. Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.
