26. They are not the only ones who have learned that there is no data on the murder of US Citizens

by the police. I am so glad that finally this issue is getting some attention.

No government—not the federal government, and not the thousands of municipalities that give their police forces license to use deadly force—wants you to know how many people it kills and why.

This should become a project, to find the names of all the victims of police brutality and give them the respect they deserve.

It's no surprise they don't want the people to know what they are doing.

I am beginning to think we need an outside intervention in this country. Our government doesn't seem to be interested in much about these horrendous crimes against their own people.
