Does this include the property crimes caused by the protesters? If no, why not?

Please explain why you think property is the same importance as human lives being destroyed by people who were sworn to protect them.

I checked out my city and state on here. The vast majority of the incidents listed are not even close to police brutality. This is clearly put together by someone that has an agenda and doesn't know what they are talking about. Unfortunately this is junk.

Why would a list of police brutality incidents contain information about property crime?

That would belong in a git repo of property crimes caused by protestors. It’s an entirely different data set.

I wonder if a database similar to this that documented property crimes, or black on white hate crimes would be allowed to stay up?

Well organized and useful resource.

Edit: Oh nice, there are backups of videos as well, and there's even an ipfs source.

It's a git repository which accepts pull requests to crowdsource information. If you've got some ideas to improve it, then do so.

This repository is not junk.
