Lives Matter

[Greg_Deckler]

A data story centered around US law enforcement caused deaths by firearms broken down by race and age and correlated with arrest statistics and population data.

Review the second page as well as the first page (see Key Insights below).

US Law Enforcement Caused Deaths by Firearms data comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (1999-2014)

Crime statistics are from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. (1999-2014)

Population statistics are based on 2010 US Census Bureau data.

On the first page the Race % of Population tiles are not responding to cross-filtering, on the 2nd page the Race % of Arrests is not responding to cross-filtering. I downloaded the pbix but can't tell why it is not working.
