We can quote stats about police violence all day long, but in nearly every personal story, it usually ends with "and then the cops just did nothing and there wasn't a paper trail." I have 4 stories,4 witness accounts, and not a single one went or would have gone anywhere. That's not a small problem. And, they're in every state, in every county. This is a mafia.

I prefer data over social media stories.

Oh, I meant 4 times that I've personally witnessed unpunished and unmotivated police brutality and violence against others, mostly people of color. If I were to include social media, the reports would be in the millions. You say you prefer data, yet you ignore mountains of historic and ongoing evidence. You say you prefer data, yet you choose to accept compromised data sets clearly influenced by external factors.
