Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
So no context to blanket stats? Don’t you want to know if the subjects are armed or not? Suicide by cop scenarios?
I know the violent crime stats are tough discussions but I guess it’s easier to say use the blanket stats. So for one, the data can’t be trusted the resources has a preferred outcome. When I went to access the data when it was small it wouldn’t let me see more info. Just use the fbi crime stats or Wash Post had a good link. Also they decided to use ratio and percentages when the numbers were small. The Utah cherry pick is so poor as well, like the whitest state to inflate the overall ratio...if the number was 8, U could look cases by case for root cause. What I want to know is the 9 deaths of unarmed black persons last year, what’s the story? Who was the victim and who was the cop who killed them? It wouldn’t take long for the Wash Post or NYT to do that.
