As, we have stated working on the project – 2 that inspect instances of police shootings in the United States, with our data coming from a repository managed by the Washington Post. This data has records starting from January 2, 2015, and it is continually updated with new entries every week. A bit of a challenge has arisen since we have identified that there is approximately 23% of the data missing, which might make our analysis a bit tricky. Regardless, we are aiming to explore this available data thoroughly to uncover any trends, patterns, or noteworthy insights about these events. As we move forward, we will be seeking answers to a set of questions which will help shape our understanding of the occurrences and potentially inform policy and practice in the future. Our goal is to navigate through the available information, making the best use of it to understand more about the circumstances, patterns, and potential root causes of fatal police shootings across the country.
