Visual Interactive Data Base: FATAL FORCE Police Killings 2015 - 2020

Data can be boring unless it is accurate, visualized and more importantly analyzed.
The Washington Post did exactly that in a new report:
"In 2015, The Washington Post began to log every fatal shooting by an on-duty police officer in the United States. In that time there have been nearly 5,000 such shootings recorded by The Post.
After Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, was killed in 2014 by police in Ferguson, Mo., a Post investigation found that the FBI undercounted fatal police shootings by more than half. This is because reporting by police departments is voluntary and many departments fail to do so.
The Post’s data relies primarily on news accounts, social media postings and police reports. Analysis of more than five years of data reveals that the number and circumstances of fatal shootings and the overall demographics of the victims have remained relatively constant
Source: Washington Post Updated 24 Jan 2020 
_________________________________________________________________________
About this story
The Washington Post's database contains records of every fatal shooting in the United States by a police officer in the line of duty since Jan. 1, 2015.
In 2015, The Post began tracking more than a dozen details about each killing — including the race of the deceased, the circumstances of the shooting, whether the person was armed and whether the person was experiencing a mental-health crisis — by culling local news reports, law enforcement websites and social media, and by monitoring independent databases such as Killed by Police and Fatal Encounters. The Post conducted additional reporting in many cases.
The Post is documenting only those shootings in which a police officer, in the line of duty, shoots and kills a civilian — the circumstances that most closely parallel the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., which began the protest movement culminating in Black Lives Matter and an increased focus on police accountability nationwide. The Post is not tracking deaths of people in police custody, fatal shootings by off-duty officers or non-shooting deaths.
The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention log fatal shootings by police, but officials acknowledge that their data is incomplete. Since 2015, The Post has documented more than twice as many fatal shootings by police as recorded on average annually.
The Post’s database is updated regularly as fatal shootings are reported and as facts emerge about individual cases. The Post seeks to make the database as comprehensive as possible.
To provide information about fatal police shootings since Jan. 1, 2015, send us an email at policeshootingsfeedback@washpost.com.

Fatal Force
924 people have been shot and killed by police in the past year
Updated Jan. 24, 2020
> Rate of shootings remains steady
Despite the unpredictable events that lead to fatal shootings, police nationwide have shot and killed almost the same number of people annually — nearly 1,000 — since The Post began its project. Probability theory may offer an explanation. It holds that the quantity of rare events in huge populations tends to remain stable absent major societal changes, such as a fundamental shift in police culture or extreme restrictions on gun ownership.
> Black Americans are killed at a much higher rate than white Americans
Although half of the people shot and killed by police are white, black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate. They account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white Americans. Hispanic Americans are also killed by police at a disproportionate rate.
> Shootings happen across the country
Police shootings have taken place in every state and have occurred more frequently in cities where populations are concentrated. States with the highest rates of shootings are New Mexico, Alaska and Oklahoma.
Each circle on the map below marks the location of a deadly shooting.

Missing These "Take-Aways" From 88th Winter Meeting U.S. Conference of Mayors

Way-too-much going on to have missed these items on the Agenda for the recent mayors' conference in Washington D.C. January 22-24 2020.
Both Michael Bloomberg, former 3-time Mayor of New York City and "Mayor Pete", former mayor of South Bend, IN were invited to address the gathering of the nation's roster of mayors.
Oops! Missed that both of those

Your MesaZona blogger would be more than happy if anyone could provide more details or transcripts or streaming videos on-demand that got uploaded anywhere. Thank you.

HOMESTEADING 2.0 > Shrinking States Offer Perks To New Residents: Cash, Land and Job Connections

That calls back-to-mind America’s homestead programmes of the 19th century, when the federal government gave land to settlers willing to move west.
Arizona no doubt grew by metes-and-bounds back then 160 acres at a time!
Here in Maricopa County and the City of Mesa, it's growing fast all over again with expanding Suburban Sprawl.
That's quite the opposite of some other states who are offering certain incentives.
Shrinking states offer perks for new residents
The Economist | Jan 23rd 2020
"Vermont is one of many states with a population that is dwindling. Around 80% of counties across the country—largely those clustered in the north-east and Midwest—lost working-age adults from 2007 to 2017, according to the Economic Innovation Group (EIG), a think-tank. Some 65% will lose working-age adults over the next decade.
The scale of this decline is new, precipitated by an ageing workforce, falling fertility rates and less immigration.
Population declines affect housing markets, municipal finance and local economies.
Fewer people means less housing demand, tax revenue and business

Are such efforts effective?
"Amy Liu, who directs a metropolitan-policy programme at the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, warns that local attempts to woo companies can backfire. Sometimes companies leave when incentives such as tax breaks expire. Attempts to woo people could suffer from some of the same pitfalls. Ms Liu also wonders if such experiments might be too small to have an impact.
John Lettieri, the head of EIG, says place-based visas for immigrant workers may help areas with population and labour shortages.
Vermont could certainly do with an immigration boost. Fewer than 500 people arrive each year. Those counties that are growing have immigrant populations.
Vermont’s commerce secretary, Lindsay Kurrle, says she is “realistic” about her state’s programme. She says she knows people are not going to move to a new state for only a few thousand dollars. Nor will the programme alone solve the state’s demographic problems. Still, she hopes it will encourage more people to consider Vermont. . . "

Flipping The Senate 2020: Arizona Is Most One of Most Winnable Seats in The Senate

The key word is WINNABILITY, the chances of success that depend on robust, statewide voter mobilization operations in currently 13 states that are plausible prospects.
Here in Arizona Latino civic engagement infrastructure is the progressive secret weapon
Steve Phillips writing in The Nation two days ago identified Senate seats 'up for grabs'.
Of the 23 Republican-controlled Senate seats up for election this year, there are currently 13 seats in 12 states that offer plausible prospects for Democrats to defeat their Republican opponent.
Factoring in four key criteria: past electoral results, demographic developments, existing civic engagement infrastructure, and incumbent favorability ratings, he produced a score that illustrates their respective winnability.
(Read a complete description of the methodology and underlying data incorporated in the ratings here.) The states where Democrats are most likely to flip a Senate seat are those where they’ve fared well in recent statewide elections, and where there is a large pool of potential Democratic voters who could be brought into the electorate to improve the overall odds of victory. 
________________________________________________________________________
ARIZONA:
Kyrsten Sinema won the Arizona US Senate race in 2018—the first Democrat to win an open seat in that state since 1976.
Conventional wisdom attributes Sinema’s success to popularity with “moderate” voters, generally code for white swing voters; but she actually lost the white vote to her opponent.
While her white vote share was admittedly higher than many Democrats receive, it was her 70% of the Latino vote that propelled her to victory, by just 56,000 votes.
And there could be a whole lot more where that came from: More than 600,000 eligible Latinos did not vote in 2018.
Burgeoning Latino civic engagement infrastructure is the progressive secret weapon in Arizona. Ever since the state’s government passed the 2010 anti-immigrant legislation often referred to as the “show me your papers” law, a strong, sustained and effective cohort of organizations and leaders have worked together to build political power and darken the complexion of the Arizona electorate.
Republican Martha McSally is the incumbent up for reelection this fall; progressive solidarity, combined with the strong fundraising of likely Democratic nominee Mark Kelly—former astronaut, current gun control activist, and husband of former representative Gabby Giffords
makes this one of the most winnable Senate seats in the country.

A LOCAL OBSERVATION: For Mesa, Arizona Mayor John Giles who's running for re-election in 2020, that increasing Latino political power could upset his campaign.
From most accounts, Latinos and the Hispanic community in the same city that produced Russell Pearce, author of that notorious SB1070 anti-immigration in 2010, are not getting on his conservative Republican bandwagon

Chew on this take-away: Hizzoner grappling“The Hispanic community needs to engage. Hispanics are underperforming politically, they’re not coming out in the open, in the way they should,” Giles said. “And I think we need to encourage and support our Latino leaders. They need to understand that they need to own that.”

Mesa’s Giles leads panel of mayors grappling with immigration policy
Arizona Daily Independent                                              
WASHINGTON – They were Democratic and Republican mayors from cities large and small across the country, but officials on the panel Wednesday on immigration agreed – it’s an issue they all grapple with
Garcetti, Giles and Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Jorge Elorza  pointed to numbers that that show half of the 19.5 million lawful immigrant workers in the U.S. are holding down manual-labor jobs.
While the mayors said the government needs to help immigrants, they also said immigrants need to help local governments stand up for them.
Garcetti, a Democrat, and Giles, a Republican, stressed the need for partnership in their cities with local Hispanic communities, urging them to become more engaged with local governments.
“The Hispanic community needs to engage. Hispanics are underperforming politically, they’re not coming out in the open, in the way they should,” Giles said. “And I think we need to encourage and support our Latino leaders. They need to understand that they need to own that.”
“I think there is a real sense of optimism in this room, because even though politically we may be in some of the darkest days,” he said, . ."

Presentation ​“​100 Mayors Who Care”    "100 Mayors Who Care” is a way for Mayors to give back to the cities in which they gather for  Conference meetings. The concept, first introduced by Conference President Barnett at the 2019  Fall Leadership Meeting, is simple: Mayors in attendance hear three-minute "pitches" from three  Washington, DC-based non-profit service organizations. The mayors then vote for their favorite  pitch and each participating mayor (or any other conference attendee wishing to do so)  contributes $100 to support the work of the winning non-profit. The idea is that mayors leave  meeting cities with more than the learning gained and relationships strengthened through their  attendance; they also leave behind a legacy benefiting non-profits serving the cities they have  visited.     Moderator ​BRYAN K.
