Ohio:

Finished research project-- one document left to email, from another computer I'll visit this afternoon.

It was researching for family of 53 persons in the Dayton area who died during an interaction with police. The databases I used turned up more cases to include in the project, but I'm taking a break first.

When I "finish", I'll summarize what types of interactions were involved. Several who died were bystanders mowed down in police chases, so I'll be looking at neighborhood characteristics-- what types lead police to exercise obviously inadequate safety precautions.

It was really sad to see so many without obituaries. I did find grave records for most of those, but the photos of their markers show no family names or inscriptions. :-( The circumstances of the deaths are sad, but this part.... people shouldn't be disposable like that.
