The Washington Post's database and analysis of police shootings to better understand the situation in 2015
12/27/2015
The implementation of "sanctity of life" policies at police departments reduces police shootings but it is also shown to lead to increased crime, says WP. A quarter of the shootings were for mentally ill people and most were carrying a weapon, according to the Post's databas of all shootings in the U.S. Even the FBI lacks such a database and is only now collecting the information for such a database. Still the use of force for small infractions leading to police chases, can lead to better outcomes for officers and for people making the small infractions. In 2015 11 of 65 officers charged were convicted. The Post gives the example of a female officer Lisa Mearkle in Pennsylvania who says she only used her gun when the person she was chasing reached into his pocket. She was acquited by the jury because officers have to make split second decisions or risk their lives. In short the situation is much more complicated than the media makes it out to be, and their are many sides to the story, not merely racism.

Big government is the new West Coast craze
Washington Post 11/06/2016
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
