He started with the official counts. “I always feel like the numbers are the truth,” he said.
“I think I got through the entire states of Texas and Nevada,” he said, laughing at the memory. “I’ve got FOIAs still out from that time period.” “It offended me on a couple of different levels,” he said. Rankling him most was the very peculiarity of his own singularity: “Why am I the guy figuring this out?”
that mapped fatal police violence encounters across U.S. cities from 2013 to 2017. They found that police were six-and-a-half times more likely to kill Blacks than whites in Chicago and its western suburbs. Burghart is now working with a team of artificial intelligence experts to create new ways of processing information. He isn’t ready to release any details about the project, but said the work he has undertaken as a private citizen would be better completed at the federal level.“It goes away for a little while until something so excruciating happens again to ignite the flame,” he said.
“The number of people killed by police is microscopically small” compared to the general population, he said. “But those deaths are so important to the families of the people who were killed because they symbolize systematic racism.”
good_going Wooo That’s Got 2 B A Enormous Task ?U Sir R Taking On A Difficult Endeavor👍💯✊.
Former reporter? This is pretty pure journalism. Who, what, where, when, why and how.
Have you guys even talked with samswey?
Interesting.
Why.
Good. Someone has to. Love to see his findings.

It's an extremist group. This should be done.
So it's dangerous to be a criminal? People die to medical accidents every year. Do we vilify doctors to this extent?
And how about every law-enforcement officer killed in the line of duty? Or does that not matter?
anon retweetet him in the beginning of the blm-protests. Also, in eu we mention the blue leaks in the media. In the US the media is silent about it, prob not to provoke more protests (which i want to believe what naive boy i am)
Sry don't care about facts, we must defund
Is he also tracking black on black killings
Systematic racism.
Where is your post about this
Uh oh... He's gonna blow up BLM concept
Does the investigations include Hillary’s “confidants” who mysteriously died
Thank you for your persistence although not sure what it will achieve.
Has anyone looked up his criminal history?
Mr. Clean? Is that you?
There are def. a few i am still curious how the officers didnt go to prison for... let alone be charged even (smh)
At least someone's policing the police
The first paragraph “the number of people killed by police is microscopically small yet shows systemic racism”? How do you get that from a microscopic number?
TruBluRayne Good job! How can I help!
KrisKetzKMBC The guy I really need to talk to then, kcpolice just like the agency the seizes and confiscates firearms, has to also be the department with the most officer involved shootings, if not in the Top 5
Maybe he should also be tracking all LEOs killed in the line of duty. Won’t be doing that though. Doesn’t fit the left wing propaganda narrative trying to be sold to the American public.
Great job. This is what this country needs more of.
Does it also give details and footage to each one or does it simply label them as 'bad' with no context whatsoever?
Also make sure you mention how they resist arrest and play the race Carr oh he arrested me cause I'm black .... This needs to stop being black in America is not the problem ...the black in y'all are stop self victimizing and get on with how the world is ...you do a crime you pay
Oh and lest nor forget all those black on black killings involving innocent children don't make them look like victims when they are far from it .. You wanna be a true reporter ...start looking at facts not what's selling fast ..those innocent kids matter too..do a realistic job
Yeah maybe if Black's don't commit crime and resist they won't be shot killed or arrested y'all making it look like they targeted without cause .... If you act like a criminal and do what criminals do you gonna get treated like one weather black or white ...stop y'all crimes
Bravo to this trailblazing journalist. May I be so bold as to suggest that Congress be lobbied to pass legislation that would require the Justice Depart. to record PRDs-Police Related Deaths. Further, require PDs to collect & notify Justice when PRDs occur-- in a timely fashion.
AllLivesMatter
Still pushing the racism narrative. The feeble minded love the new fake term “systemic racism”. They think they sound smart saying it I guess, even though it doesnt exist.
I thought this was David Draiman from Disturbed
Maybe he should track every known cop killing also.
Out of all those cases how many of the deaths were caused by self defense? Thousands is a lot. Does he just write the names down and move on? He doesn't know the details of thousands of cases and he's not a genius because a genius wouldn't look so douchey. Fake News
How about we follow all the victims left behind by criminals.
what about the officers that been targeted ? shot killed and wounded? Race baiter reporter if u ask me
TheLastWord
Samir_Madani He should be president
Thank you for your dedicated service.
TomthunkitsMind you might find this interesting.
Nice work
Police in 2019 killed only 9 unarmed black people. It's an issue so small. Black lives only matter to the left when a white person is involved and not a black person.
Same story N.B.C. ran on Twitter yesterday - over milking this ain't you
another former.....sad
Very shocking that a reporter has actually done work.
'symbolize'
yona1959 That man is in danger. I hope he has bodyguards.
🙂 let's go for it...

OMG, Bless your soul!Ur work could be instrumental in helping law enforcement, nation with reform laws. Tracking these officers, gathering data on current behaviors should be a goal to get helpful feedback; some may have changed for the better.
Great work.👍🏿Been recently thinking about all the unknown victims of police violence & that there should be a commemoration for them in Washington DC. Now that I know about this journalist's work, America will mourn for all of the victims of police violence. Thank you.👍👍🏾💙🇺🇸😷
Next week he starts on every unsolved murder case in Chicago.
If 'The number of people killed by police is microscopically small, but those deaths symbolize systematic racism' It can only mean that 'systemic racism' is microscopically small.
Compliment to his work & ability to finish job.
TY sir
and I'm sure he'll find that there are more white people killed than black people.
How about every officer that's been killed?
Or is this just another hit job on the police by a journalist trying to make himself look good? A homicide means death at the hands of another it Does not automatically imply guilt. It can be justifiable.
Does hid analysis show the context of police shootings? Were the citizens armed? Were police officer (s) under attack or under the threat of deadly force? Were any of the police shootings to protect a third party from the use of, or under threat of serious bodily injury?
I bet he’s also targeted by police officers all the time.
Learn how to overcome the feeling of regret
It would be swell to track the 460,000 children that go missing each year.
uncivilobedient We don’t officially track police misconduct and killing at the national level because we don’t want to know!
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
LOL NBC RACE BATING IGNORING WHAT BLM REALLY IS THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT BLACKS
Is anyone keeping track of the young black men murdered in Chicago at ridiculous rate? Is anyone trying to stop it?
❤❤❤❤
Howie Mandel is looking good
LMAO. Followed to what benefit?
Batman.
Thank you for your work.
Daniel Shaver is the one that sticks with me too. That cop doesn’t deserve to breath free air or any air. That was straight up murder regardless of what his department and the DA say.
Tried visiting the app, it appears to be broken. Get this project a team, stat!
Can we get a podcast out of this?

NBC continues their war on our men in blue.
fantastic work. essential information for people who make breezy generalizations about police killings, which are a major problem in this society (but being grotesquely uneven from city to city).
‘Track’ ‘report’ news WE NEED THEM ALL TO INVESTIGATE!! That’s what we are looking for investigative reporters finding the truth!!!
