Washington state just started an independent office solely to investigate cases of police killing civilians.
It's taken them 3 years, and they're only up in 1/3 of counties (not counting the one Seattle is in) because they need to hire 60 investigators and they only have 26.
We need 60 full-time investigators just to _begin_ to keep tabs on how many civilians our police are killing.
