I see the intent... but scale is drastically different. You’re comparing a yearly figure to a daily one that is nowhere near the daily max to begin with.

- Anon1096 6y agoI believe that is the point of the comment. That one day of COVID is equivalent to a whole year of police killings.
- treyfitty 6y agoWithout context, it’s hard to ascertain if the point the parent is trying to make is either: 1) Police Killings are low. 2) Covid deaths have bottomed. In the context of police killings, that 1,000 figure doesn’t indicate if it’s innocent killings- sure some may be, but how many are suicide by cop? How many are due to hostage situations? Or how many are due to being fired upon first? In regards to Covid deaths, 1,000 daily deaths is low compared to the 3,000 we saw at the peak. So, what point is the parent trying to make?
