Great incisive piece as usual Noah. This will of course infuriate the grievance grifters and less happily will cause pain for the grieving families. Using population amounts to an ecological fallacy. Credible social science usually contests these sort of research missteps but that no longer happen. Up here in Scotland a knife wielding and unstable, black man who died under restraint is being lionised as the new George Floyd at an inquiry in Edinburgh. Certainly the police have questions to answer. However, the idea that (to your point), his behaviour was not a big contributor to his fate is not credible.

Excellent piece. All the grievance grifters should read this.
