The difference seems to be 1 person/million. There are no error bars, so I wonder if that’s even statistically significant.
The data at mapping police violence shows the rates of states range in values between 13/million and 0.2/million. That’s a huge range. The difference between red and blue states being 1/million doesn’t seem that big a deal.
That’s a fair criticism!
Police killings are already statistically very rare. Much more so than other types, which are already pretty rare.
Not to mention that the definition here of red vs blue is being held static, despite it actually changing (potentially) every 4 years.
This fits right into these correlations
