#3The question discussed is interesting and important but I felt the structure of this article is somewhat unfortunate: it explains very well and objectively some of the statistical issues and solutions with censored data but then when discussing how it’s applied to the particular case of police homicide does so with a rather obvious bias towards assuming that the situation is very bad and comes up with a number, manually inflated, of 1500/y.
It may be, but it’s unhelpful to mix stats and opinion and not separate the two clearly IMO.
It would have been nice to present the raw data, then the statistical techniques and then finally an opinion based on the results.
That being said some important points are highlighted in terms of a lack of accountability of the police in the US.

When did this dystopia begin? It wasn’t too long ago right? What can I do to prevent this? There isn’t an organized dissent group. Idk what it really that I want.

I was curious. Apparently in the USA police shootings aren't tracked centrally [1]. The Washington Post only started trying to track it in 2015.

I would think Black Lives Matter would be an organized resistance group, no?

#8It’s understandable that Americans continue seeking measurable blame, but I think this is a complicated result of wider cultural issues, none of which can be isolated. So sad.

In terms of accountability I cannot think of any country where the police force is actually accountable for anything they do. Abuse of power pretty much everywhere and the police gets a blank check.
