"acute drug toxicity"

Human Rights Data Analysis Group — Millions of Pages of Police Use-of-Force Files Available through New Searchable Database

HRDAG was part of a coalition behind the recently-launched Police Records Access Project. The new searchable database includes millions of pages of documents about tens of thousands of police use-of-force and misconduct cases. The database includes documents related to three types of law enforcement incidents in California: instances in which a police weapon was discharged, instances where officers used force that resulted in serious injury or death, and instances in which an agency determined an officer violated certain department rules (like lying or sexual abuse).

One notable insight from reviewing the database of California police misconduct cases: deaths in the database are often labeled as something like "acute drug toxicity," even when the police were engaging with a civilian during or just before the death.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
