  I honestly don't know, but as more money would flow into the state and new jobs would be created then it certainly will affect the social dynamics in some form, possibly affecting also the issue you point out. PS. If you can (e.g. you are an American) then please explain it to a non-American. I looked at the available statistics (deaths by police) and while the overall statics of Utah looks bad, there is also very small black population in Utah, meaning that even small level of serious criminal activity would easily skew the statics and indeed the number of killings by police is usually 1 in a year or even 0 as happened in 2016 and 2023 or 2013 and some extra bad year like 2018 will considerably affect the statistics. So why is Utah notorious but for example Vermont or Oregon is not? Of course to an European the number of people killed by police in US is simply mind blowing. But what is even more mind blowing is number of homicides, especially among young people, but (really) notoriously among black people. Close to 50% of homicide victims are black people but they only form 10% of the population. It is even worse, much worse, when the statics is age and sex adjusted https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7226a9.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7226a9.htm My sincere question is - why to focus on these 12 deaths over 10 years and not on all these close to 100,000 deaths?
