@prismatic Thanks! I think this is right; I will resolve in a day or two just in case anyone else finds something.

@CraigDemel yeah this question caught my interest so I ended up looking into it for an hour but def look for anyone else!

I don't know who's keeping count (and you may want to wait for more mainstream reporting on this), but FWIW: https://bsky.app/profile/meidastouch.com/post/3m3pp2ynlds2u

@WilliamGunn Thanks, resolving 0 and 1 as NO (I didn't do the bookkeeping on the first guy)!

Edit: strike that, at least from my phone I can't do this. But @traders, this market will currently resolve to no less than 2.

Saw a headline there is one in Tennessee

The link by Craig does raise a question. Is being shot to death by cop based on the spirit of the market equivalent to being arrested. If it is, the count is at least three as of more than a month ago

@JussiVilleHeiskanen I'm sure there are senses in which it's equivalent, but as the market maker I said "arrested" so I won't count it.

Andrew Taake: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/07/january-6-attacker-arrested

@traders, I know I said "market resolves one week after close", but this seems like a clear resolve NO for 0. What do you think?

@JussiVilleHeiskanen Is there a second arrest? Please link!

@CraigDemel the article you linked at the end mentioned someone who got a 10 year sentence and one that was shot dead by cop

@JussiVilleHeiskanen the ten year sentence person, Emily Hernandez, was arrested in 2022, long before market creation: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/01/30/emily-hernandez-sentenced-fatal-car-crash/78047420007/

Impossible to resolve this type of market. Good luck tracking arrest status of 1600 people through 3000+ jurisdictions (in the US alone, the rules technically include all countries).

@MaybeNotDepends I'm counting on Mother Jones etc to do a lot of the work for me.

@johnwhiles Need to see whether it was before market creation, but yes, this sort of thing!
