 It's essential to acknowledge the limitations of this study. The analysis relies on available data, and causation cannot be inferred from correlation. Factors beyond the scope of this study may influence fatal police shootings, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to police reform.
 
-It would also be wise to recompile data with information from the 2020 census. It would also be wise to control for city population in future studies, `fatal shooting per agency per capita`.
+The accuracy and completeness of the data used in the analysis are dependent on the quality of reporting by law enforcement agencies. Incomplete or inaccurate reporting could introduce biases. The study spans the years 2015 to 2023. Changes in law enforcement practices or societal dynamics over time may not be adequately captured. There may be confounding variables not included in the analysis that could influence the relationship between police residence and fatal police shootings besides residency as we demonstrated in the study.

+The study may not account for geographical variations in policing practices. Policing approaches can differ significantly between urban and rural areas, and this variability might affect the observed relationships. The analysis does not control for the population size of the cities being studied. Fatal shootings per agency per capita might provide a more nuanced understanding of the impact on communities. While the study considers the victim's armament status, the context of each shooting, such as the immediacy of threat and the perceived level of danger, is not fully explored. This nuance could impact the outcomes.

+If we had more time, it would be wise to recompile data with information from the 2020 census. It would also be wise to control for city population in future studies, `fatal shooting per agency per capita`.
