A laudable idea but why restrict it to the protests? There's a problem with police brutality in lots of places and at lots of times (even just the perception of it), perhaps a more standard way to report and record which can be replicated easily and hence, compared better, might be an idea. (As I was writing an issue opened up on this kind of point https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality/issues/83)

It seems to me that the current set up excludes the vast majority of people (who are unlikely to know markdown, Git, or Github) which limits its effectiveness.

There's already a few more general repos out there. For example, this one focuses on US attrocities: https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/us_atrociti...

And this one is a general one about America's shit: https://github.com/mikeizbicki/american-shit (disclaimer: it's my repo)
