If the Minneapolis Police Department didn’t kill anyone in a year of active policing, and my combat unit didn’t kill anyone in over a year of war, Minnesotans — and all Americans — are right to ask why ICE and the Border Patrol have killed two people in my state in two weeks.
That’s like 1000% more killing.
To get the percentage you divide the new events, 2, by the previous number of events, 0…
Rates can be less than 1. So you’d take the number of people killed by minneapolis police in, say, a decade and then divide by 10.
So 52/x (we’ll say 0.5 just to estimate) would give you 104* more killing. (Or 10,000%)
Which is a lot, yes, but not infinite.
Thank you for the accuracy.
1 thing and it can’t be in the headline? Eat a dick, huffpost
Poor headlines notwithstanding, I’m glad HuffPost is opening their op-ed page to center Minnesotan voices like this.
I think another thing to note is that they don’t receive nearly the same level of training as a soldier.
And let’s face it, they have been given carte blanche to kill
Only 1 lol
