For the Wealthiest, a Private Tax System That Saves Them Billions - The New York Times: "The hedge fund magnates Daniel S. Loeb, Louis Moore Bacon and Steven A. Cohen have much in common.

Police killings since Ferguson, in one map

Police killings since Ferguson, in one map: "Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, and Jessica Hernandez are just three of at least 1,687 people killed by police since August 9, 2014, the day of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.

Fatal Encounters, a nonprofit, has tracked these killings by collecting reports from the media, public, and law enforcement and verifying them through news reports. Some of the data is incomplete, with details about a victim’s race, age, and other factors sometimes missing. It also includes killings that were potentially legally justified, and is likely missing some killings entirely.

Vox’s Soo Oh created an interactive map with data from Fatal Encounters. It shows some of the killings by law enforcement since the Brown shooting:" 'via Blog this'

Why many Americans don't trust police anymore, in 7 videos - Vox

Why many Americans don't trust police anymore, in 7 videos - Vox: "Behind this trend is one critical factor: video. The proliferation of video through smartphones, dashboard cameras, and body cameras — and social media's ability to send a video into viral overdrive — has played a major role in holding police accountable, especially this year. At the very least, video has helped weaken the infallibility that seemed to surround police — a sense that allowed officers' testimony to be viewed as more credible than those who lodged complaints against them." 'via Blog this'

Why today's jobs report is a big deal for the economy - Vox

Why today's jobs report is a big deal for the economy - Vox: "Employers added 211,000 jobs in November, and the unemployment rate held steady at 5 percent, according to data released by the US Department of Labor Friday morning. Consensus expectations had been for 190,000 new jobs, so the report was a bit better than expected. That means the pace of job creation was good enough to make it all but certain that Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve are done delaying and will raise interest rates at their December 17 meeting.

The Fed appears to have been eyeballing 100,000 new jobs as the minimum needed to make them comfortable proceeding with the rate hike, and this report easily clears that bar."
