If anybody wants to help, it seems super daunting, but I think it matters.

My first goal is to compile as comprehensive a list as I can of unarmed police killings of all races. Then, I want to compare the coverage to examine whether the stories:

1) Described the victim's size/clothing
2) Delved into the criminal history of the victim when it doesn't pertain to the incident
3) Extolled the virtues and career of the officer(s) who killed
4) Speculated about toxicology

These seem to be the common hallmarks I notice in these little post mortem character assassinations.

If you think of anything I'm leaving out, let me know.
