Amid grief and outrage over the killings of two unarmed African Americans in Chicago, a year-end report from the Mapping Police Violence research project says police nationwide killed at least 1,152 people in 2015. In 14 cities, every single police victim was African-American. And across the country, police killings had little correlation with crime rates and population size. "Democracy Now!" discusses the findings with Sam Sinyangwe, a statistician who worked on the Mapping Police Violence project.
