Newly expanded research has cited over 1,000 instances in 47 states of civilians and journalists harmed by police during the last five months of racial justice protests associated with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Examining thousands of videos shared online, the investigative journalism website Bellingcat and the University of London human rights research group Forensic Architecture compiled a spreadsheet and interactive web-infographic containing geolocation, video links and summaries for each police attack on a journalist or protester during the nationwide BLM protests which followed a white police officer's May 25 murder of Black Minneapolis residentThe data, which so far extends from May 26 to...
