Hi, I'm one of the people who worked on some of the data visualization for this story. The people behind this worked very hard and did an excellent job. I would also like to point out, this is why police transparency is very important in modern society.

The outside blue field on the pie chart has no title when you hover over it (purchases under $5000).

And having the text be upside down for half of the chart is pretty bad (another way to do it: http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2015/07/pie-chart-...)

This comment is meant in good faith, it's an important story and topic and visualizing the impact is very useful. I appreciate the work that went into it.

edit: I just noticed you can click on the fields, very cool!

Thanks for the suggestions, I didn't think about flipping the text for that half of the chart but that's a good idea. I'm not sure about the blank label but I'll look into that.
