Coronavirus: Mapping cases of excessive use of force by law enforcement

This tracker by Omega Research Foundation seeks to gather together instances of alleged excessive force that have occurred in the context of coronavirus measures or protests arising from coronavirus-related concerns. It is updated on a weekly basis.

"Many states have created emergency powers to slow the spread of coronavirus. Law enforcement agencies have frequently been tasked with enforcing lockdowns, quarantine and social distancing measures. During this time a large number of allegations of excessive use of force in implementing such measures have emerged."
