Lee Camp's show Unredacted Tonight is getting better and better with each episode. This was a brilliant report, tightly reported, chock-full of excellent information, hilarious. No notes. <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbK21xS8GsQ" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/cbK21xS8GsQ" source="YouTube" width="560px" author="Unredacted Tonight | Lee Camp" caption="UNREDACTED: The Crazy Truth of US Coups in Latin America / US Police Kill More People Than You Think"> From the show description: <bq>In this episode of Unredacted Tonight, Lee Camp traces a modern history of U.S. intervention in Latin America—covering major regime-change operations, covert actions, and military interventions from the 1950s onward. With sharp political comedy and rapid-fire historical references, the segment <b>connects well-known flashpoints (Guatemala, Chile, Panama, Honduras, Haiti, Venezuela and more) to the broader mechanics of power: intelligence operations, economic pressure, political manipulation, and the strategic interests that often sit behind public messaging.</b> The show then shifts into a “Dystopia Report” focused on policing and accountability in the United States, <b>examining how deaths in custody and police-involved fatalities are tracked, classified, and prosecuted.</b> Using headline examples and research-based discussion, the segment explores the gap between official reporting and independent estimates, and what that gap suggests about <b>transparency, oversight, and the real-world incentives inside the system.</b></bq> At about <b>11:30</b>, <bq>Man, do we love kidnapping presidents. Love it! <b>Some people like fly fishing or knitting or bestiality or whatever, but the US empire loves kidnapping democratically elected presidents</b> ... and also killing them.</bq> At about <b>15:45</b>, <bq>A few years ago, the Department of Justice released a report about the numbers of people who die in law enforcement custody, and they said they have no idea how many people die in law enforcement custody. Oh, great. So that 1,292 number is just the victims we actually bothered to count. Well, <b>I always say the only thing harming American exceptionalism is truth. If we could just keep truth at bay, we'll be fine.</b></bq> At about <b>18:30</b>, <bq>So, if the government has failed to count a lot of deaths, exactly how many are we talking here? According to a large-scope study by the highly respected Lancet Medical Journal, police killings in America have been under-counted by more than half over the past four decades. According to a new study ... half! half! Jesus. About 55% of fatal encounters with the police between 1980 and 2018 were listed as another cause of death. Another cause of death. Like what? Taser-to-face syndrome. Yeah. Yeah. He, you know, he came down with a bad case of boot-throat. Yep. Lot of folks in prison picking up the boot-throat. They are usually the ones talking back to us or saying negative things commenting on my haircut. Yeah. It's very very contagious. Yeah. So if police killings are under-counted by 55%, how many would that be during, say, last year? Well, if 1,292 is the official count, then the actual number is 2,871 people murdered by police in America last year.</bq> <bq>So if we assume, as the Lancet medical journal just told us, that there's roughly 2,871 police killings a year, a likely undercount, times 15 years, that's 43,065 people killed by cops. Then, three convictions [in 15 years] would be 0.007%. <b>One conviction of a police officer for every 14,355 murders. I don't know what to say to that.</b></bq>
