Could it be that the very activities that rarely lead to OIS (e.g., traffic stops; see Zimring, 2017) have decreased in the wake of COVID? But police responses to COVID have not changed among other types of police-citizen contacts where OIS is more likely?
No discernible effect of #COVID19 on fatal officer-involved shootings. In 2020, we're averaging 2.8 fatal OIS per day, right on par with each of the last five years.pic.twitter.com/QJFkbJ4AzV
