Debunking "The Myth of Police Brutality" Again

Debunking "The Myth of Police Brutality" Again

I recently produced an extensive article debunking the claims, at length, of Heather MacDonald's Wall Street Journal police "The Myth of Police Brutality" that many on the right held up to pronounce the central claims of the BLM movement to be erroneous.

On top of my piece, Thadryan (a Firefighter and Human Services Professional turned Computational Biologist who is inerested in statistics, non-coding RNA, and clean, reproducible science. He writes about assorted topics related to programming, bioinformatics, and data science) has produced a video to do much of the same thing:

Thanks to him for alerting me to his work here. He points out the huge cherry-picking and methodological errors involved in MacDonald's article.
