The year is brand new, and civilian killings by police officers continue unabated. In 2022, police killed at least 1,192 people, the highest number ever recorded, according to the Mapping Police Violence database. A hundred of those people were unarmed. Black people were three times more likely than white people to be killed, although they were 1.3 times more likely to be unarmed.
As the first month of 2023 draws to a close, the nation is once again confronting the tragedy of a killing at the hands of men who pledged to protect and serve their community.

United Talent Agency and Activist have inked nonprofit legal advocacy organization, Southern Poverty Law Center (Splc).
UTA and Activist will rep Splc’s work across podcasts, scripted and unscripted content in film and television, creating fresh content opportunities.
With a specific focus on the South, the 50-year old Splc aimed to tackle the remnants of Jim Crow segregation and institutional racism.
