First off because I'm not disagreeing with his thesis. I'm agreeing with the commentor, who also neglected to disagree with his thesis, and said his use of statistics were flawed.
As to your first question.
He's comparing total deaths from shooters and police.
But if you add up the total number of individuals that have committed mass shootings it's gonna total like what 1000? 2000?
Meanwhile there's at minimum 700,000 police officers in the USA right now (not including ICE-PIGS).
So his number of 33x more deadly is not accurate, because if the USA had even half as many mass shooters as police the death toll from mass shooters would clearly be larger.
...
American's culture of anti-intellectualism is one of the tools the elites use to control the populace. If we can't even have an adult conversation about math than how are we going to unite against our oppressors?
