1.⁠ ⁠What percentage of the individuals involved in these incidents were reported to have shown signs of mental illness? How might this information impact police training and response protocols?

2.⁠ ⁠Body cameras were not consistently utilized in the incidents recorded in early 2015. How might the subsequent widespread adoption of body cameras affect our understanding of similar incidents today?

3.⁠ ⁠The circumstances surrounding these incidents vary, including situations where individuals were fleeing, either on foot or by car, or not fleeing. How might these different scenarios influence police decision-making processes, and what does the data suggest about this?
