The point is that there is mail in ballot fraud, Twitter claims Trump's fear mongering is wrong because it's extremely rare. Posted below, butt there are 18,000 police agencies and 800,000 police officers in a country of 330 million people. 10 is not an epidemic pattern just like Twitter claims that 500 mail in ballot prosecutions (over multiple years) is not a pattern.
- okaram 6y agoYou claim (link is paywalled) 10 is the number of unarmed black people killed by the police, which has no bearing whatsoever on how many black people are killed by the police. From similar stats, about 240 (24% of 1000 total) black people were killed by the police.
- tuna-piano 6y agoI'm using unarmed as somewhat of a proxy for "potentially unjustified", but the BLM movement also uses it frequently. Of course some of the armed ones are unjustified (for example, the tragic and imo unjustified Philando Castile shooting counts as armed) and some of the unarmed ones are likely justified. "yet again, another unarmed black man was killed by the police" is the typical refrain and the narrative the protestors are screaming and tweeting.
- gweinberg 6y agoIt's pretty likely that most cases of voter fraud are never detected. How would they be? It's pretty certain there almost no undetected cases of people being killed by police, at least in this country.
