That's why States Rights is the solution. Let each state control what the law is for them and only for them. Tyranny of thy own self. (Ignoring for the moment state level tyranny of the majority.)

Mean, median, mode, standard deviation, skew, etc. are all important measures. When people are talking about inequality (in any subject, not just here), they aren't likely focusing on just one of these, but on combinations of these.

But only for cops. Shouldn't cops be treated like anyone else, which would normally mean being fired or maybe, if we are lucky, unpaid leave?
