No one seems to be considering the Jacob Blake shooting may have nothing to do with race. Can’t police excessive force or mistakes, if that applies here, exist in the world regardless of the suspect race? Isn’t it true racism to see a 15-sec video and automatically assign motives & roles to police officer and suspect based solely on the color of their skin? Imagine you’re the police officer in this situation and it’s a white suspect, who has a history of domestic abuse, an arrest warrant active for sexual assault, is resisting arrest & ignoring commands, and goes for a weapon in his car that could end your life in less than a second. Would you shoot or wait to see what happens?

There may or may not have been racism and excessive force. Who knows? That’s why we have a justice system and due process. Too many people, including seemingly every pro athlete, want to return to 1600s justice where the villagers just storm the town with pitchforks and torches until they hang the accused from a tree with no trial.

Perhaps the biggest source of misinformation nowadays comes from “anecdotal evidence”. This is evidence that draws conclusions based on individual stories or a personal experience. Scientific researches know it is one of the laziest and most inaccurate sources of information for one simple reason — the sample size is too small! A case may occur only once out of million possibilities, and the anecdotal example may lead to a 1/1000000 case is the proper conclusion. This is precisely why today’s news media is such a joke. For example, white police officers shooting unarmed black men almost never occur, but you wouldn’t know it by the media. They dig up whatever cases they can find and replay them over and over to create the illusion it’s a widespread occurrence. Another example was Charlottesville “white supremacist” rallies. This involved a few hundred people in a nation of 350 million, or about 0.000057%, but the media made it sound like white supremacists made up half the country. Lately, the tactic has been applied to immigration and school shootings. Pay attention how every day the media creates an alternative reality through acecdotal evidence, and unfortunately, how many people fall for it.
