2015 police killings by threat level

Despite the media hype this year, surprisingly few people are shot by police who are unarmed and not resisting. The Washington Post estimated that less than 5% of police killings are in any way suspicious.

When I previously posted data such as this on the Data is Beautiful sub-Reddit, some of the comments accused me of racism. Apparently, to post data from a highly reputable source on police shootings by threat level is a racist act.

Top 1% pays almost as much tax as the bottom 95%

Not only are there large differences in teen smoking rates by family affluence in North America, there are large differences in teen smoking rates between across the Atlantic and the English Channel.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
