The deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, and Freddie Gray have placed a national spotlight on police killings of black men. But these four cases are a small fraction of the hundreds of people cops have killed over the past few years.
Jishai Evers, for Vocativ, visualized what police killings looked like over the past 16 months in the map above using data from Killed by Police, which has logged more than 1,500 police killings since January 2014.
