Fatal Police Shootings In the U.S. Since 2015
This visualization maps fatal police shootings in the U.S. since 2015, using a dropdown menu to colorize incidents by attributes such as race, gender, threat level, or mental illness. A GeoAlbersUsa projection renders state boundaries via d3.geoPath, while d3.scaleOrdinal assigns colors to data points. Hovering over the legend filters and highlights matching incidents, and a linked bar chart shows counts per category using d3.scaleBand and d3.scaleLinear. Data comes from the Washington Post’s Fatal Police Shootings database, parsed with d3.csv.
