"Fewer fatal police shootings are recorded by the U.S. federal government every year.
However, according to The Washington Post's Fatal Force database, U.S. officers have shot and killed more people on annual basis, reaching a record high in 2021 with 1,047 deaths.
'The FBI database contains only about one third of the 7,000 fatal police shootings during this time (since 2015),' said the newspaper.
Fatal shootings by officers in at least 2,250 police and sheriffs' departments are missing from the past seven years of federal records, according to WP analysis.
'The excluded data has created a misleading government picture of police use of force, complicating efforts at accountability.'
