Yeah it's not like there were any big events in the meantime. Certainly not two elections of very different presidents or a whole global pandemic. Certainly nothing crazy that could change the data in one way or the other

If anything these events led to even further militarization of police in US, certainly can't think of any meaningful police reforms that happened during this time.
