    This is a good site to find info:

    https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

    More whites are killed by police, but blacks are 3X as likely to be killed based on their percentage of the population.

    And here's a page that lists how many Law Enforcement officers are killed by year: 158 in 2018

    https://nleomf.org/facts-figures/officer-deaths-by-year

    According to this site: https://nleomf.org/facts-figures/law-enforcement-facts, there are more than 800,000 law enforcement officers in the US. That probably includes anyone actually associated with law enforcement such as Border Security, ATF, FBI, Police Officers, etc

    Being in law enforcement was the 14th highest in reagards to fatalaties per 100,000 people in 2018 as well.
