Yeah, it's so metal!

But, instead of a circle, maybe each dot could be a child with some blood coming out?

Oh wait, maybe it's absolute numbers.

Last year, the police shot 24 men, 1 woman, 1 white person, and 2.5 black people.

80% of the people shot by police are armed with a deadly weapon, according to the Washington Post's database.

Don't commit a crime, don't point a gun at the cops, you'll be fine.

Oh, it's highly logical. The conclusion is just an uncomfortable reality that few people want to talk about. So, papers like the NYT or WaPo give vague statements blaming guns or domestic violence or whatever.

Except that the pandemic was worldwide. Pretty much every country saw unemployment and school shutdowns. Most of the developed world had government stimulus.

Only the United States saw a 30% increase in murder. And that was mostly in black communities in the US.

So it was an effect of depolicing black communities, not an effect of unemployment.

It was a result of the George Floyd protests and the subsequent changes to policing:
