The only objection I can think of that an honest police department might have against this sort of analysis taking place is that some figures might be taken out of context or not adequately explained, such as officers’ numbers who patrol neighborhoods that are predominantly one ethnicity.
If I believe in my work, I don’t mind it scrutinized, and would welcome the analysis, given that the analyst is not excessively biased.

I had to “make one commit a day” because I wasn’t committing as much as my peers. The next week of commits was me automating commit + Pr generation that only made changes to white space (plus normal work, which was mostly research at the time).
