Was going through the summaries too. Problem is the mitigating circumstances stats are useless. An officer literally has their life on the line when writing their report. They'd have to be just about insane to not say they thought the person had a gun, moved their hands towards their waistbands, made a furtive movement, etc. Maybe the data is good for historical trends but that's it.
