  • My guy, I’m not sure that you read either link despite quoting them. You skipped over #5, huh? Or #6, that despite a surge the murder rate is still below previous highs? Hell, they even say that outright in #7.

    You’re right that I didn’t specifically link the second article to discuss underreported deaths. I did it because Figure 2 shows NVSS data that I could not otherwise locate easily, which also shows the trend I suggested. It can be difficult, I’m sure for reasons you understand, to source figures for police violence from rigorous sources… Especially when, as the article I linked notes, there are numerous issues with official sources. Here’s UIC’s page anyway, though.

    But sure, yeah, thanks for your helpful illumination.
