Following up on my earlier post (and taking this opportunity to clarify that I was being sarcastic when I described the Manhattan Institute’s report as “groundbreaking” or good news-since, as I hope was clear, I expect police to kill fewer people than violent criminals do), I have found (via boingboing.net) this excellent resource on police use of force.  The Police Use of Force Project reviews policy policies from the largest city police departments in the United States “to determine whether they include meaningful protections against police violence.”  The policies were obtained via FOIA requests, the data is/are published on the site, and they even have a model use of force policy.
