> Where in the article was that said? From the article: > The Reporter does not have access to the arrest narratives, so our analysis includes crimes that could be considered looting in the context of a protest, but may also be everyday crimes like burglary. This becomes particularly interesting because only two paragraphs further up, it is pointed out that police was able to - and likely did - arrest groups of people based on the same narrative. > Edit: if you want to look at the data yourself, here [2] you go. They remove the address info in this data, but journalists/students/nonprofits have access to an "authorize-only" version that has address info. I wish journalists would give that information - link to sources of their articles - with the articles, especially when working for clearly opinionated media. It increases trust and reliability imho.

It feels like you're just searching for things to dislike. I'm not sure what your point about the narratives is or how that makes the analysis "limited". The charge is clear enough. Funny enough, the reason that CPD failed to accurately count the number of looters is because they basically did a grep of "protester" in their narrative logs, rather than looking at the charge itself. And again -- CPD agreed with us that their numbers were wrong and ours were correct. > I wish journalists would give that information heh. The actual source was an API that we had access to. What I linked wasn't the original source. The API isn't something we could link to. In fact, after we published that article, they shut it down so that we nor other journalists could access it! https://www.chicagoreporter.com/chicago-police-department-arrest-api-shutdown-is-its-own-kind-of-cover-up/ https://www.chicagoreporter.com/chicago-police-department-ar...

And dude. You're preaching to the choir about the reliability shit. Your feelings towards journalists should be directed towards editors, not journalists.
