Violence between police and citizens is increasing, according to data and statistics, as analysts and experts search for answers to decrease shootings and other acts of civil unrest.

Even as the search for answers continues, however, others have found that there is a distinct disconnect between police and the citizenry that they are assigned to “serve and protect.”

According to the Free Thought Project, a think tank and policy analysis organization, hundreds of citizens were killed by police in 2014 — a figure that was higher than the previous high in 2013.

“While violence among citizens has dropped, violence against citizens carried out by police has been rising sharply. When we look at citizens killed by police over the last two years, deaths have increased 44 percent in this short time; 763 people were kill[ed] by police in 2013,” the think tank said, quoting figures at KilledByPolice.net, a website which tracks such statistics.

Meanwhile, in 2014, the figure rose to 1,100, the think tank noted, quoting the tallying site. “That is an average of three people a day,” said the think tank.

To put that figure in context, the think tank said that, in all of last year, just 58 U.S. troops were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Fewer soldiers were killed in war than citizens back home in “the land of the free” in 2014, by a large margin,” the group said.
