To continue the conversation in what I hope will be a productive way, what do folks think of the fact that fatal shootings of unarmed citizens, of all races, is trending down since 2015. Is the national attention on this having a positive effect? Was Michael Brown's case, and the attention it got, a tipping point? Is there something else in play? Has that fact that this number is falling gotten enough media attention? Is it a sign of permanent positive changes or just a sign of increased sensitivity by police that will go away if the protests go away?

BTW, for those who have not seen the evidence that race certainly plays a part on this issue, the above article does a good job of making it clear that it does, based on the evidence.
