Not much. It's an opinion piece. Probably doesn't belong on HN.

  Would it be similar to if I wrote an article saying I'm 10ft tall?

  There is a difference between opinion pieces that are at least backed by reality and ones that are mostly hot air

    I expected more stats because of the word "meets" in the title. But there are none, only a collection of anecdotes. The blog name is "Common Sense" too, so it's like the author didn't think statistics on police effectiveness matters, it's just common sense that police stop crime.
