        The plot makes clear that guns are the primary means of deadly state repression. Much of the non-gunshots from security forces is tear gas and tear-gas canisters.

              Note also that a major share of Security Force violence caused the death of Civilians or Bystanders (may recode those categories together).

                This plot was generated using packages ggalluvial and ggplot2. Not counting some prep work to manage the factors, the plot was generated with this one "line" of code. #rstats #dataviz #DataVisualization
