This is either an intentional lie or a typo. There were 1000 police killings, not 1000 police shootings.

edit: and I'm even accidentally being deceptive. There were over 1000 people shot dead by police. There were more people killed by police.

"Deadly shootings" is the phrase used by WaPo where I sourced the number.

There are 1,136 total killed by police in 2021. 1,055 of them were shot.

There is a rough estimate that there were about 800 non-deadly police shootings, but that's a rough guess without much data.
