I doubt we could ever get a full figure, but a quick google says 9 million die from starvation yearly and around 15,000 from police.
There’s probably a lot of overlap between starvation and other poverty deaths too, i.e. how many people die from illness that their body is too starved to fight off.
I mean, yes, but there’re also much more direct forms of state-sanctioned murder.
And those forms kill far less than this form.
I wonder what the numbers are on starvation vs war/policing/prison deaths/etc.

I’m pretty sure starvation is on top by a wide margin, but lots of starvation is caused by war or policies.
Yeah. For example, would the purposeful starvation in Gaza be considered a direct form of violence? I think yes, personally.
Of course, Zionists deliberately withheld, stole, and bombed any aid going towards Gaza that is 100% intentional.
