In reply to the discussion: White mother of black children (and white children) tells it like it is. [View all]It is a database they have put together of all the police shootings that result in death this year so far. Because many police departments don't report police shootings they cull from reports from news sources as well and then it is filterable by race or weapon involved or many other criteria it is pretty interesting.
It gets into many details such as was there body cam footage or was the person shot fleeing the scene and you can even combine filters.
So you could say see all the people that were shot fleeing the scene that had a knife in the state of California where there was body cam footage available and the victim was Hispanic.
Really interesting to see the difference in numbers when switching out different criteria.

No, it doesn't. You added the comma and made it appear those words are on the same line.

I would defer to your husband on this. He's lived the experience your child will have.
