MTH 522 Week # 2
- What percentage of cops had their body cameras off?
- Is there a pattern between the casualty rates and factors such as race, gender, mental health status of the victims?
- I’ve noticed that whenever a casualty was deemed mental illness-related, most of the time, the police officers also had their body cameras off. Is there a correlation?
- Depending on the state and the police station, some cops can turn their body cameras off in certain instances. Are they taking advantage of this law’s flexibility? If they claim the person they shot had a mental illness, we have no choice but to believe them, considering there’s no body cam footage to prove them otherwise.
- Based on the data provided, is it possible to determine if blue states/counties are more violent than red ones, as some people claim?
