Racism? All Lives Matter!
This bar chart shows the distribution of police shootings by race, revealing that White, Black, and Hispanic individuals are the most affected groups, with the White category having nearly twice the number of shootings as the Black category. The visualization uses vega-lite-api with d3.v5 to load CSV data from a Kaggle-hosted GitHub gist, then aggregates counts per race via a groupby transform. The bars are colored by race, and tooltips display the exact count and racial category when hovered. The chart is rendered through vega-lite’s SVG rendering with a custom dark theme from a config file.
AI-generated descriptionAll Lives Matter!
Recently, we have seen many cases with police killed black people inappropriately. So I tried to show the correlation between race and number of shootings.
From this chart we could see that the top 3 races are 'White', 'Black' and 'Hispanic'. Also the total number of shooting with 'White' people is almost two times than 'Black'. I think I may draw a conclusion that the racism may not so obvious but this data is recorded since 2015. Howeve, the racism may raise recently, we need to dive deeper to get more information before conclude that.
In summary I wanna say is 'All Lives Matter!'
