Police and fear.

Is the information good?

686,956

What does that number, that very specific number, signify?

If you read the article carefully, you find it used twice in two completely disparate contexts. One is the number of officers who contributed to a data set. Another is the population ratio of killed by cop versus not killed by cop. Really? That number showed up twice in unrelated contexts? Possibly, sure. Probably, no. More likely the journalist fumble fingered his figures, which brings all of his figures into doubt.

I was trying to be nice.
