Hi, thanks for sending this. My request specified I'm looking for information on the types of force used (taser, physical force, baton, etc.) for each of these cases. Can you send me statistics showing that per year that you have data for? (For example: 2016: 3 taser, 2 baton, 1 physical force; 2017: 2 taser, 1 baton... etc)
Thanks!
