    Race, Police, And Innumeracy

    Race, Police, And Innumeracy shows the accuracy of numbers tied to ideology.

    ...That question [How many unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019?] was asked in a study commissioned by Skeptic magazine, the results of which were tweeted by political scientist Zach Goldberg (who is a great follow on Twitter). This is mind-blowing:



    ...Another question: Of those shot and killed by police in 2019, what percentage were black? ...The real answer is 26.7 percent....

    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler

    The Modern Left could care less about false perceptions. They want the media to give them a daily "Woke" massage.

    False outrage allows them to feel and act superior. Just look at how this Capitol Riot business has been so overblown.
