The Guardian UK has decided to keep a running total of ALL people killed by police in 2015, and keep a live running total that you can check on their website.

They break it down demographically and by state to make it easy to see what is happening in this nation.

It's even interactive. You can give them info, that they might not have been given by local agencies where you live.

Can you imagine any entity in our so called free press doing something like this?

I can't, because nothing has stood in the way of any newspaper or network and prevented them from doing the same thing. Yet until The Guardian did, we've been told that the Federal government doesn't keep track of this, local and state governments don't coordinate the data and as a result doing it was impossible for any American media to accomplish.
