Slap,

Perhaps you see WaPo as fitting such a description. Personally I don't think the Wall Street Journal fits your words.

What did the WSJ report in December 2014:
A Wall Street Journal analysis of the latest data from 105 of the country’s largest police agencies found more than 550 police killings during those years were missing from the national tally or, in a few dozen cases, not attributed to the agency involved. The result: It is nearly impossible to determine how many people are killed by the police each year.

Police-linked shootings like deaths in custody and deaths in police-related accidents can be an indicator of how the police perform their duties. They should not be ignored, indeed I would argue to do so is dangerous for the police and the public.

Back to WSJ, citing a law professor:
When cops are killed, there is a very careful account and there’s a national database..Why not the other side of the ledger?
All manner of reasons can be cited about data problems, the facts matter.
