Michael from Muckrock writes, “The federal government has a pretty good picture of where bees are dying across America, with two federal agencies collaborating on a systematic, scientifically-rigorous, long-term look at the problem, particularly important given the danger that colony collapse disorder presented.”
“None of the same applies, unfortunately, when it comes to deaths in police custody, where less than half of states report any data, and even their data is so suspect as to be unusable.”
