A former reporter has dedicated 8 years to doing what federal agencies have not done: meticulously tracking every known law enforcement officer-involved killing in the US. Entries include both headline-making cases and thousands of lesser-known deaths.
He started with the official counts. “I always feel like the numbers are the truth,” he said.
“I think I got through the entire states of Texas and Nevada,” he said, laughing at the memory. “I’ve got FOIAs still out from that time period.” “It offended me on a couple of different levels,” he said. Rankling him most was the very peculiarity of his own singularity: “Why am I the guy figuring this out?”
that mapped fatal police violence encounters across U.S. cities from 2013 to 2017. They found that police were six-and-a-half times more likely to kill Blacks than whites in Chicago and its western suburbs. Burghart is now working with a team of artificial intelligence experts to create new ways of processing information. He isn’t ready to release any details about the project, but said the work he has undertaken as a private citizen would be better completed at the federal level.“It goes away for a little while until something so excruciating happens again to ignite the flame,” he said.
“The number of people killed by police is microscopically small” compared to the general population, he said. “But those deaths are so important to the families of the people who were killed because they symbolize systematic racism.”
