Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Federal law enforcement agencies reported 65 arrest-related deaths and 614 deaths in custody in 2020, according to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
42% : But the data is likely undercounted since the federal government doesn't know how many people die in the custody of the criminal-legal system each year, according to a new report by The Leadership Conference Education Fund and the Project on Government Oversight.
36% : "Far too many of these deaths are caused by excessive violence from law enforcement, including dangerous and unnecessary use of force by police and the abuse and neglect of incarcerated people."
