Go here for a nationwide data bank on police reports. From Helena.

Please go here for our blog introduction to this Problem with Police Brutality in the United States… In regard to your binder and print journalism study of the issue, I want you to find EVERYTHING. Don’t just search for the Blendspace. I expect you to canvass the entire Internet; past and present. Coverage of the issue, from local and national sources is of the essence. Find the Police Report; read it. If there are Facebook sights involved – find them. Editorials that focus on your issue are significant as well. And send me an email with a final listing of all video and audio links that you have accumulated for research on the topic. You will recieve a pre-Blendspace 50 point grade based on how thorough you are at accumulating information.

Go here for an excellent report about police brutality ten years back in Kenosha, Wisconsin and a fathers search for justice in his son’s death. If you don’t have a particular issue for study…you might want to give this a try. Everybody should read it.
