Upon analyzing the data related to fatal police shootings over the span of several years, I noted that in 2015, there were nearly 1,000 incidents, with a dip to 960 in 2016. Subsequently, the numbers exhibited a gradual increase, reaching 980 and 990 in 2017 and 2018, respectively. This upward trend persisted, nearly hitting 1,000 again in 2019. The year 2020 saw the number of shootings exceed 1,000, and it peaked in 2021, surpassing 1,040 fatal police shootings. Nevertheless, in 2022, the count decreased once more to 1,000.
