The Guardian has lots of stories that American media would never cover. They seem to still have actual journalists. And our government won't collect the statistics because ignorance is better than taking a look at what's going on.

This amount of death by police must seem truly odd to the British, where

"in the 31 days of March, police in the United States killed more people than the UK did in the entire 20th century. In fact, it was twice as many; police in the UK only killed 52 people during that 100 year period."

There are interesting things to check on the Guardian's site - such as 22 deaths in OK with a population of 3.8 million and only 1 in CT with 3.6 million [[and that was from a taser, not a gun), among many other things. The pics are an interesting touch, since it forces us to humanize things just a bit.

Maybe I missed it, but what part of this story is controversial?

Very interesting site and I will spend more time with it later.

I think this issue is going to continue to come up for the foreseeable future.

Various incidents were being discussed online and on social media years ago before the main stream media started covering them. Of course, the mainstream media is making a bigger mess of it, but I think internet and smart phones are going to keep this in the public eye. Whether or not that will cause changes, I don't know.
