The Counted: People killed in the US by Police (The Guardian)

[Todd]

Data base and interactive.


The Counted is a project by the Guardian – and you – working to count the number of people killed by police and other law enforcement agencies in the United States throughout 2015, to monitor their demographics and to tell the stories of how they died.

The database will combine Guardian reporting with verified crowdsourced information to build a more comprehensive record of such fatalities. The Counted is the most thorough public accounting for deadly use of force in the US, but it will operate as an imperfect work in progress – and will be updated by Guardian reporters and interactive journalists as frequently and as promptly as possible.

It's a sad day when we cant even get our own government to give us an accurate number on how many people they are killing. Let that sink in, an outside source had to come in to provide such details.

See the USA really is exceptional, exceeding records year after year.........

Crime at records lows. Police brutality at record highs. Yet somehow we are to believe that if there was less crime there would be less police brutality.

Such would seem not to be the case.
