What rot. Please stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Statistics lie all the time, especially when they’re being presented by inept morons who’s one life skill is to be a mouthpiece for political agenda.

Swear to God, the first thing they tell you in statistics class is that statistics are often used to nefarious ends by people and organizations who either don’t know how to interpret them and don’t understand how they work or actively misrepresent statistical models in order to manipulate opinion.

For example, in your use straight numbers of deaths by race alone do not tell the accurate story that per capita deaths do. A national average can obviously skew the interpretation of a regional or more local (city) problems. It also does not delineate between deaths caused by something like domestic violence with an armed suspect and a routine traffic stop that went downhill, or an escalation with someone with mental health issues. I could go on.

One snapshot is the beginning of understanding, it is not the completion of wisdom and understanding.

For the sake of your own dignity, please take a course on statistics so you understand what’s being presented to you before you let yourself be a tool again. Always check sources, methodology, and consistency.

Though if we’re being honest, one would probably not be wrong to assume you specifically used such easily debunked modeling because you share the same agenda, and not because you’re just another ignorant tool.
