Have deaths as a result of police violence decreased?
This doesn't get into any context or whether anyone died as a result, but from the available data, the highest number of incidents where someone was shot by police in SF was 11 in 2010, the lowest number was 2 in 2021.
Why? I’m certain more than one police officer has had to fire their weapon while responding to a domestic violence situation.
Tell me more about local hero George Floyd.
Absolute retardation.
Overall deaths seems like the correct metric.
If a metro area becomes a literal Gotham City (ie drug and crime completely integrated into daily life) then the outcome is decades of lost human experience across hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people.
Addressing police brutality is one hard to solve problem, but cameras and other initiatives seem to be helping. But your city turning into a crime haven creates thousands of problems, and may not be able to solve.
