"And yet" is entirely the wrong conjunction here; if there are more instances of jaywalking than police encounters, then it logically follows there would be more deaths.
In fact, I'd argue that there are far more than 6x as many instances of jaywalking than there are police encounters, which kind of undermines your whole point.
- GhostVII 6y agoAh yea I had that flipped. Not all 6k deaths are from jaywalking, and not all 1k police deaths are unjustified so probably a poor comparison regardless
