What lessons can Canada teach America about deadly gun violence?

I welcome your data that the sources I've given you are "biased" in any way.

Do you have any contradictory data - from sources other than the police ?

Nope. I can rejected patently biased data with ease, though.

So you have NO evidence of bias at all...just simply demonize them out of hand because they don't fit your narrative

(like your opinion is worth anything)


Neither do you have any contradictory data - from sources other than the police.
Just "It's wrong because I say so".

Awesome debating style there Rucker.

I don't think that the channel below is an unbiased source. He did mention "a recent study". That's what I'd like to see, not some nitwit on Youtube.

Does this look like an unbiased source:

I would like to see a link to a study showing what you claim.

Why don't you watch the video...you know do some of the leg work yourself.

Why don't you just post the link..you know because supposedly you read it..
Just post the link..
And I'll do all the leg work reading it.

Is the link to this mythological study somehow embedded in the video?
Click to expand...

It references it, yes. It says that is was published in the highly respected medical journal "The Lancet"
(Doubtless you dismiss it as a "biased source")
 
Rucker61 said:
Because those only include opinion.

FYI, I don't watch videos for evidence, ever.

That explains your ignorance

What can't a video give evidence ?

You are not slow to cite a web page, why not a video ?

And the video gives the source: the highly respected medical journal "The Lancet"
Is that a "biased" source in your opinion ?

Is there a link where I can deep dive into the data and process? Without that, it's just an unsupported claim. "This study says this" is worthless as evidence.

The video (which obviously you didn't watch) gives the source: the highly respected medical journal "The Lancet"


After a very brief search:

Fatal police violence by race and state in the USA, 1980–2019: a network meta-regression

We found that more than half of all deaths due to police violence that we estimated in the USA from 1980 to 2018 were unreported in the NVSS. Compounding this, we found substantial differences in the age-standardised mortality rate due to police violence over time and by racial and ethnic groups...

Would that be a biased source in your opinion, Btw ?

I'll certainly look into the article now that you've linked it, but regards to bias...

Is the Lancet becoming too political?

Doctors have always been political. Medical school is often a cradle of social activism, driven by a syllabus underlining health inequalities and the cultural aspects of disease. Some medics inevitably take up politics: Che Guevara, Salvador Allende and Bashar al-Assad are just a few (notorious)...

Why don't you watch a linked video for once ?

Because I am not interested in opinions on YouTube..but in scientific studies.
So..where's the link?

Please do.

"Political" does not imply any bias.

It does when it's only supporting one political viewpoint. You should reread the article more carefully.
