  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In a first, FBI to begin collecting national data on police use of force
The FBI is set to begin collecting data that will track use-of-force incidents reported by law enforcement, but experts say the collection could prove problematic and the data could provide an incomplete picture of the scale of the incidents across the country.

The National Use-of-Force Data Collection will track use-of-force incidents by police that result in death or serious bodily injury, and also incidents in which an officer fired a gun at a person, the FBI announced Wednesday. Local, state, tribal, and federal jurisdictions can begin submitting data to the FBI via a web application on Jan. 1, 2019. Once the information is collected, it will be released at least twice a year.

Why is the FBI collection this? Oh that's right, because the CDC isn't allowed.

Well, to be fair, the FDIC and ADA isn’t allowed to collect police use of force data either.

Am I mistaken or does the article imply that this a voluntary thing to be submitted by local officials and not something collected first hand by FBI investigation? If it is the former then this program would be more likely to portray a picture of less police malfeasance than would be the real life situation as local enforcement would be more likely to not participate or not be fully candid if they thought it would make them look bad.
