Killed by US police by threat level and weapon, January – March 2016

I had to download the file from the Washington Posed and reorganise the coding so you can actually work out the threat level and the weapon carried. This was previously possible with the 2015 database. The 2016 database filters changed to make it more difficult to work out how many people were killed by police while an attack was in progress. The improvement is the Washington Post now has filters for the type of weapon present.
