New App Sends a Notification Every Time Someone Is Killed by Police


BY CLAIRE LANDSBAUM

Police killed 984 people with firearms last year, which is more than double the average number reported annually by the FBI. Adjusted for population, a disproportionate number of those people were young black men, and in many cases the policemen who killed them were never charged, or were charged and acquitted.  Although many cities are calling for police reform, for software developer andIntercept editor Josh Begley, change wasn't coming fast enough.

On Wednesday Begley announced the release of his new app, Archives + Absences, which sends users a notification every time someone is killed by police. According to the Daily Dot, the app sends push notifications with the name of the person killed. If users click on the notification, they'll see a map with a pin where the incident took place; all data comes from The Guardian.
