My second post in the series was called, prosaically enough, “How the media misleads on police violence Part 2,” and it regarded how the issue of people being killed by police is much greater than the news media leads us to believe, and how the issue of police being killed by people has been inflated by its national news media coverage.| Fatal Encounters
My last post was called “How the media misleads on police violence Part 1,” and it regarded ways the media (and government) effectively prevent people of this country from having a clear idea about police violence. Its summary statement was, “the first way the mainstream news media fails to inform the public about the true scope of deadly police violence is that they underestimate deaths by 18 percent, and they fragment the data so a normal person can’t piece it together.”| Fatal Encounters
The United States government does not keep accurate records about law enforcement-related deaths.| Fatal Encounters
