One key issue is this does not control for the crime rate of each state.

I’m going to assume more shit goes down in Texas than Iowa.

More violent crime means more possible violent interactions with law enforcement.

I have tried to account for that by including data for violent crime rate per state.

Ah ok did not see that you mixed police and citizen violence together.

Now I’m left wondering what are attempting to measure?

What does hours of training for police have to do with how violent the non police citizens are? Wouldn’t introducing this skew everything?

Feels like they aren’t trying to achieve anything except being a bootlicker.
