If you go through that data entry by entry, you find that in the majority of cases, the victim was brandishing a firearm, and has usually discharged it.

It's an incredibly useful data set; take a month or two and a pair of specific areas and tally the data up. I learned a bunch. For instance: tasers? Way the fuck more dangerous than I thought (and I didn't think they were benign before).

Just to be clear, 1134 is the number killed of all races, genders, and age groups. Young black men were 15% of those, or about 170.
