Five hundred videos in 10 days. That's the job 10 students and alumni at UC Berkeley's Human Rights Investigations Lab and students at Cambridge University recently tackled with researchers from Amnesty International's Citizen Evidence Lab to map police violence across the U.S. in the wake of the May 25 killing of George Floyd in police custody. Together, they searched for, examined and verified digital content shot by citizens and posted on social media.
