yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?

Does he still think that?

They should retract all of her stories

The number of cop + Black person interactions tends to go up, because the number of police officers tends to go up.

If you are a Black man that lives in a town with 400 cops, and one year the city hires an additional 400 cops for an 800 cop workforce?

Your chances of being pulled over just doubled

The number of people killed by cops each year, tends to go up, not because of "crime."

It tends to go up, because the probability of one of those interactions resulting in the death of a Black person stays relatively constant, while the number of cop + Black person interactions, goes up.

The vast majority of cop + civilian interactions, are between a cop and one of the 99% of people that are not in the 1% that does most of the violent crime.

Imagine in a given year, there are 400 million cop + Black person interactions.

400,000 of those result in excessive force.

400 in shooting.

Some important info before we continue:

Most people are not violent criminals.

Many of you have seen the stat that most ICE detainees (93%+) have never been convicted of any violent crime.

In a recent study done in Sweden, the most violent 1% of the population committed 63% of all violent crime.

Police hiring, training, police policy enforcement (prosecuting bad cops) and which laws we choose to enforce, all affect the cop shooting probability

But this number does not change much year to year. Because there's significant resistance to either changing the policies or changing the cops.🤷🏿‍♂️

The number of people killed by cops in a given year can be described by two things:

1) The number of interactions between citizens and cops

2) The probability of a cop + citizen interaction resulting in a cop shooting

The cop shooting probability is influenced by many things.

The first thing to understand, is that the number of people killed by cops is not connected to the "crime rate," (however you define that).

Every decade since the 80s has had less violent crime than the decade before. And yet every decade the number of cop killings goes... up.

Here's why:
