Might be a better idea for a local project to start with?
Comment on Are there communities to post videos of police brutality / excessive use of force?

Many years ago, I created a reddit sub for tracking instances of police brutality, naming the officers and following up on the lack of punishment. Within the first day, I was completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of offenses. I had a minor mental breakdown and had to abandon the effort.

Definitely. I kept up with the abuses in Philly, but the results were super depressing.

Thank you for your service. That right there proves how important it is to document the abuses.

Lol, I think I lasted less than a month, and accomplished nothing. I’ve had more productive bowel movements, but I appreciate the sentiment.
