Is the map adjusted to show the relative scale to account for population differences between each state?
That would be far more informative and revealing than just raw counts.

Still, this would probably be more appropriate for HN if it showed interesting statistical information like police violence per capita, violence against minorities normalized by population, etc., and presented it with a flashy interactive javascript chart library.
Or maybe the violent crime rate in general?
> violence against minorities normalized by population
What about violence by minorities, or would that information be racist?
We give police the job of dealing with the most violent members of society, perhaps we should figure out to what extent they're just doing their job.
