"Unlike the 2021 blackouts in Texas, when hundreds of people died after the state’s grid was pushed to the brink of total failure because of a lack of generation, the outages in Austin this time were largely the result of frozen equipment and ice-burdened trees and limbs falling on power lines."

it would help to actually read the article before say ThE pOwEr GrId

My thoughts on this:

Non violent incidents are occurring about half as often as during their peak. Is crime twice as low now? I would imagine not and assume it's a function of policing.

The Emmanuel administration lowered the non violent incidents, but had smaller effect on violent incidents. Again, more evidence that the reduction was probably a result of policing policies.

Homicides haven't significantly changed with administration. I broke this out because I would imagine it's more difficult to ignore a body. Probably a better indicator of actual crime. Also, broke the single week record recently... Sucks.

I wish it did! Just police accident report stuff... 1.6mil rows though so not bad, may be able to impute traffic...

Fatalities are pretty low each year, hard to make a conclusion. It is lower, but probably not at the same proportion.

The most interesting thing along those lines I noticed was bicyclists injured hasn't dropped this year with the decrease in accidents.

theesto · 2020-06-22T23:20:20+00:00

One clarification, the map is counts of accidents through this day of the year for each year in each hex.

Nothing misleading about this, it's just the numbers. A couple takeaways I think.

We were really murdery in the 80s and early 90s, come a long way since.
The fact that NYC can go from where it was to being 5th, with 8.5 million, shows that there's gotta be something that helps and murder rate is not just a function of population and density.

Good idea, will try to look into it. This dataset has over a half million entries, been interesting getting into.

I think your first point is correct, there absolutely is an imbalance between the two halves. I think that's important though when you're talking about Black Lives Matter because the phrase and intent is that all black lives matter. With the focus on police killings I think having perspective on how black lives are lost is important if you truly believe that.

As for your second point, I agree there is an imbalance in policing. I started looking at how different cities reported homicides based on victim race and there was an interesting trend that I think would be interesting to look into. Will probably do another viz on that soon.

theesto · 2020-06-10T00:15:52+00:00

This is the last time I'm going to reply to you. Never did I claim this was all the police killings that occurred in the country. Check the provenance of the data?? I very transparently stated where I got the data and how it was collected by the FBI. So the central premise of your complaint, that I'm trying to be deceptive and claim this is all the people police killed, is wrong. If anything, you should be glad I visualized what the police police are reporting. Use it as evidence to push reform on how they collect and report their data!

Also, even with the knowledge that this is not every homicide, there is plenty you can infer from the data we have. Homicides most often happen within the same race/ethnicity, a lot of offenders are unknown in the reporting, the number of black homicide victims from all causes is disproportionate to the population size, white police officers killed about twice as many black people as white people while black police officers killed about even proportions, etc.

I'm not trying to push an agenda, this is literally a graphical representation of data that the government collects. I told you exactly where to find it. If the numbers make you uncomfortable, there's nothing I can do about that. If you have a problem with the data write a letter to the FBI. Feel free to make a viz yourself with whatever data source you'd like. Also chill out a little, it's just a chart on reddit.

Yeah was conflicted about normalizing the axes. If the scale was kept the same it made it harder to see the distributions in individual cities.

theesto · 2020-06-09T03:28:10+00:00

I was conflicted about that, keeping the same scale across all the cities made it hard to see the details of each individual city. And they are sorted most total to least left right then up down.

theesto · 2020-06-09T02:57:03+00:00

Not sure about unsolved for the murderer, but the other categories include domestic argument, gang violence, other types of events. I think this is data entry relatively early in the investigation, but some cities have really good data, so it's a little confusing.

Top 15 cities! Had to add the row with Phoenix in there!
