In today’s class, everyone expressed their ideas for objective.

Some of the questions I thought of, are

• How has the racial distribution of shooting victims changed over time?
• How many people were armed or unarmed in a given state or county, and which state or county had the most armed or unarmed individuals ?
• Which state or county has the fewest body cams turned on?
• How does the list of shootings in the U.S. compare to that of another country?

We got introduced to dataset of fatal police shootings from Washington post. And the objective of the class is to make meaningful analysis to find answers for questions we make up.

As per the objective the first step is to ask proper questions for the data given. A glimpse at data is enough to understand there are many questions that can be taken from it, but can they all be meaningful? no.

So, i dive into this week thinking of all the possible questions and select some good ones to move to second step.
