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.

Which is your city and state?

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.

Can you share which city and state that is? For my own state (NY) all of the ones I looked at are legit.

I won't go as far as equating property to human lives, but do remember the vast majority of businesses looted or burned were small, already hurting from Covid-19, and a large number of them black owned. Sure, these people's business owners weren't killed, but everything they worked for during their life is pretty much ruined.

Do they accept pull requests?

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.

Yeah that's why it's junk.

So confident in your statement you made a new account. Would you care to link some of the incidents that feel are not even close to police brutality? You could also make a PR to remove those.

You made an account to make vague and unsubstantiated accusations of "an agenda," then call protestors "communist street gangs"?

Can you please provide actual reference material to back up either the "agenda" claims or the communism stuff?
