The likelihood of a person of color being harmed by police has also risen since 2014; in the year following the killing of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, 229 Black people lost their lives at the hands of a police officer. In 2020, Black people accounted for the highest percentage of police-related deaths, as they had for many years. Also: police shot unarmed Black people at a rate of three times higher than white people between 2015 and 2020.
