eral topics about systemic racism etc. But the trigger, the primary thing that the protests have been about, the George Floyd situation is complete, it's complete. And I gave myself enough freedom by setting the groundwork in the things that I've done up to this point that I might be the only person in the world who can say that out loud. Do you know anybody else who's saying this? That the Black Lives Matter, the trigger of it, I'm not saying racism doesn't exist I'm not talking about the larger questions that's another topic but just the question of police killing Black people at an oversized alarming amount it just isn't true.

Now when I change the frame to why is it that you don't hear any engineers, scientists or statisticians being on the same side as the Black Lives Matter protest, the reason is these are all the groups that know how to look at data. And there's a very simple data analysis mistake which caused all these protests and it's this. They looked at the percentage of Black people killed versus the percentage of white people killed by police. And that's just a data analysis error because when you look at the percentage of Black people killed by police you're not really looking at police violence against Black people. What you've done is you've accidentally studied how many Black people commit crimes or how many Black people live in a neighborhood that's a high crime neighborhood. You've accidentally looked at the wrong thing because police are stopping Black citizens at a higher rate. Why? Well most of it because the neighborhoods they live in is higher crime. And you know certainly there's a separate issue of whether too many Black people are being stopped and frisked. The stop and frisk part is I think its own topic. But the correct way to look at it is in the total number of stops, police encounters, what percentage of them either Black people were stopped were killed versus the percentage of white people killed when they were stopped by police. Now that would be the correct way to look at the data. And when you do there's not much difference. In fact white people are killed a little bit more often but not statistically so.

So the entire protests are built on this weird little lie that can only be supported so long as you never have in the news an engineer, a statistician, an economist or what's the third thing a scientist, somebody who actually knows how to look at data. You will never see somebody who knows how to look at data talk about this data because it would ruin the whole thing as soon as you talked about it.

Now what that means and if you take this to the larger thing, compare the issue of Black people being killed by police which I think we'd all agree we want less of it right? So if there's anything we can do to make less of that I'm all on board. All right I'm completely on board with looking at new ways to do policing without police. I think that's actually a really good path to explore. But the only way I would do it is by testing as small to make sure it doesn't blow something up, right? So if you wanted to replace police and the way that you wanted to do it is with some alternate methods let's test them. Totally let's test the
