Not each individual police officer, police as an institution is more deadly than society’s baseline rate of mass shooters. Surely that was obvious from the context.

Buddy ACAB all the way. But you and everyone upvoting you are shit at math. Hive mind af.

edit: Especially your bit about the AR15. WTF does that have to do with your stats? 90% of the police shootings I see are with handguns.

What I meant with that is that all the gun control push to ban AR-15s because they're used in active shooter incidents from liberals is bullshit because there is a much bigger problem of police violence in America that suburban liberals refuse to address because they benefit from it.

Also, you posting an AI overview immediately makes me think you're posting in bad faith.

AI overview immediately makes me think you're posting in bad faith.

I'm literally just agreeing with the guy saying this is a bad use of statistics. Glad to see the reddit hive mind is alive and well.

I think you’re responding to the wrong dude. I’m not OP.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca -2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

You replied to me and are defending OP so don't complain that i'm throwing salt at your math skills.

The fact that your NOT op makes it worse. Means I nailed it with the hive mind accusation.

You defs dont' understand the part about getting the right answer with the wrong math. I'm not arguing that police aren't deadlier than shooters. I'm pointing out the math he used to back it up is bullshit.

Ehhh, I’m gonna trust the guy who quoted actual sources and not the guy who literally pasted “AI Overview” into his comment lmao

So if I hadn't been honest you would have trusted me? Very telling hive mind mfer
