Police Are Killing Fewer People In Big Cities, But More In Suburban And Rural America

I wrote about the data on police violence, what’s changed since 2014, and how the data can help us identify solutions to reduce police violence nationwide. https://t.co/dQALxb3Cuh

I first posted this as a comment on another thread, but it's such an important reality-based piece that it deserves it's own thread.

There's two things going on in protest and unrest right now. And it's important to separate them if people want solutions and progress.

One is that people feel that there is a major racism problem.

The other is that people feel there is a policing problem.

Well, this article makes clear that the big blue cities have made a lot of progress on the policing problem in the last few years. That's fact-based reality.

How people feel is about racism in society is different reality.

I just hope the progress being made in police departments in big cities isn't hurt by what's going on now.

Excellent and constructive. https://t.co/zLV1jtFaG2

Fake Anonymous attack

I took the brief tweet thread I did earlier today on the alleged @MinneapolisPD hack and ran the emails and passwords through @haveibeenpwned. It's not a new breach, it's existing data that's falsely attributed and is causing disinformation to spread https://t.co/uC2LpaLQcE
