Utah police killing more than gang members

Killings by Utah police outpacing gang, drug, child-abuse homicides:

In the past five years, more Utahns have been killed by police than by gang members.

Or drug dealers. Or from child abuse.

And so far this year, deadly force by police has claimed more lives — 13, including a Saturday shooting in South Jordan — than has violence between spouses and dating partners.

Note that the cops killing more people than intimate partner violence is a this year thing.
