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.
