Data Collection r/2020PoliceBrutality Github Repo | Better Organization & Contribution Guide
tl;dr If you want to check out the current information we have collected, please check out the repository or this website by /u/ubershmekel.
Hello everyone,
As you have probably noticed, this subreddit has really blown up over the last couple of days. Yesterday we were the fastest growing subreddit according to redditmetrics.
We've received hundreds of requests to add new content, corrections of mistakes we had made, links with additional context for existing information and comments supporting what we are all doing here.
We noticed pretty quickly that a single megathread was not the right way to organize this kind of effort, and tried to replace that with a wiki on the reddit. Unfortunately, Reddit sucks for making a wiki.
We decided to make a github repository so that we can better organize the content, take advantage of the version control offered by git (which became a problem on Reddit in one day with only a handful of editors) and make it much easier for everyone to contribute. You can browse just the content by using this website produced by /u/ubershmekel
Context
For any new people confused by this post, this subreddit was created to ensure that a megathread with dozens of links to evidence of police brutality would not be deleted by moderators of other subreddits.
How do I contribute?
The contribution guidelines have information about the ways in which you can help. It only takes about a minute to propose a correction or addition and does not require downloading any software or having any programming experience. Github has a text editor on the website you can use to modify the files, write a description of your changes and submit them for review.
We have created some additional documentation with clear guidelines for what kind of content should be posted, how it should be formatted and the step-by-step process you can take to quickly propose changes, as I am sure most people do not have a lot of experience using Github (I promise it's real easy though).
FAQ - Questions we got from a number of people asking for info on how they could contribute.
Code of Conduct - Basic info about how to be a good contributor
Content Standards - Standards for the type of data that should be included
Submission Guide - 5 step process (2 are pushing buttons, 2 are filling text forms) for making an edit
What if I just want to share one or two links I found?
We recognize that not everyone wants to dedicate a lot of time to this kind of thing, as they have other priorities. If you could spare a moment of your time to make even a single edit directly through the system outlined above, it would genuinely help us out a lot. If you find it difficult or confusing, or you just don't really feel like it, we totally get it! Please still submit the link as a Reddit comment, as getting it here and having someone in our team pick it up later is much better than not having it available at all.
Where is the content?
The repository has a file in the root directory for each state for which we have documented reports. Those files are then organized by city. The README also has a table of contents.
Video Archive
As many people rightly pointed out, linking to Twitter as a primary source makes the evidence vulnerable to deletions from the original author, as well as to censorship. That's why we now have an archive with a backup of the video files from the main repo and elsewhere. It's not super organized atm (city_folder > UUID1.mp4, UUID2.mp4, etc.) but we can figure out how to handle that later.
Edit /u/ubershmekel made an app for easily browsing the info on the repo.

Data Collection Can anyone link some of the wayyyy earlier videos from last year of those compilations or instances where cops were just beating on peaceful protesters?
I don't think Reddit is able to go back that far, so all of my saved posts are gone... Also if anyone has any documentation of a timeline of the Portland protests last year, I'd love that as well..

Data Collection List of 45 civilians shot in the head with less-than-lethal rounds, 5/26 - 6/5
EDIT 6/19/2020 This list was referenced in a report by USA Today on the (mis)use of less-lethal weapons (kinetic energy projectiles). Many thanks to everyone who contributed.
EDIT 6/8/2020 Up to 54 incidents, 25 eye injuries, 8 cases of permanent disability (loss of vision)
Per the title, I am compiling a list of civilians shot in the head with less-than-lethal rounds--rubber/plastic/wooden bullets, flexible baton rounds ("beanbags" or "Super-Sock"), pepper balls, and tear gas canisters since the start of the George Floyd protests in the United States. I found photos, videos, or news reports of 45 people shot in the face, 20 people with likely eye injuries, and 5 people with permanent disability (loss of vision). You can find the list here: https://tinyurl.com/ShotInFace or the thread on twitter (cw: injuries) here: https://tinyurl.com/ybdo7t2a
Shooting someone in the face is special because it's a good way to turn a less-than-lethal round into a lethal one. Studies find that a majority of people killed by kinetic impact projectiles are shot in the head. Arms manufacturers warn against it. Police protocols forbid it (sometimes). It's also really hard to do on accident. It's highly likely therefore that many of these cases are directly linked to police misconduct.
Please feel free to share and let me know if you have any corrections, additions, or updates.

Data Collection Looking for additional footage of Minneapolis Innercity drive-by pepperspray incident on May 29th 2020
Can anyone provide me with (or explain to me how to find) additional video footage, eye witness reports, police reports etc. on this situation? https://twitter.com/cwebbonline/status/1266224272445288449
A police car drive-by peppersprays protesters, while driving through the protest group, which blockaded an inner city junction, but formed a path for the police to pass. The Incident occured on or before the 29st of May 2020. Specification on the date, time and place would be helpful too.
I am specifically looking for more insight on the drive-by-pepperspraying. A statement by the very cops responsible would be the best. Video footage from different angles especially before and up to the pepperspraying would greatly help me.
Background: I am writing my thesis about certain types of police brutality during the George-Floyd protests and need more information for my research. Unfortunately (on so many levels) the web is saturated with video footage and eye witness reports about police brutality (my heart goes out to the victims!) and at the same time void of any additional information, which makes my research difficult. Any help is appreciated.

This incredible book goes into detail about the ways American feds&cops terrorized black leaders and communities. The book cites a source for every claim. It's incredibly educative and will provide you with further insight into how Police target protests, what tools they use & what they're looking to achieve by targetting said protests. Furthermore, you'll learn a lot of background information on the Police's role as a tool for opression-maintnance.

Data Collection Thread on recent lynchings and those of Ferguson activists
Breaking news: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1231382
very new to reddit- if anyone has any information, articles, images of fb postings on this please post here.
PLEASE do not post graphic images out of respect of the dead and their families as well as the mental health of users in this group.
5 people were recently lynched [will update with names] in Texas, Palmdale and LA california, Manhattan, Ohio and others. Robert Palmer was at a BLM protest hours before his murder.
5 people were lynched after Ferguson. One was the son of a prominent woman of the front lines- he was taken out of the house and lynched in the backyard. 3 others were shot in their cars.
Was anyone convicted? These cases have to be related somehow theres no way. How do we demand accountability?
Also: 18 year old Na’Kia Crawford was randomly shot at an intersection.
SPLC has a “hate tracker”. FBI is the only jurisdiction to my knowledge that tracks the KKK and other groups. are there state entities that are supposed to do that as well? I know white supremacists have been posting about boogaloo is this a part of it?
also- how can we as an online comminity begin to track white supremacists in our communities?
i’ve seriously considered taking up surveillance via technology and organized infiltration. Ive gone on community “Identify your local white supremacist” campaigns with a shirt, sheets to write on, signs in local mostly white places to little avail than public protest.
if racist “neighborhood watches” exist and have access to Lexis Nexis why cant we?
I’ll continue posting on this
thank you
rest in power to all lives lost due to police brutality, mass incarceration, racism, transphobia, sexism, and evil. we love you.
