how are the laws on the books sexist against men…? and how does that impact police using force on them….?
people with more masculine features are more likely to be perceived as a threat than those presenting more feminine so it makes sense why men are over represented in these stats.

most crime is committed by 20-something year old men so yeah maybe missing some context here. maybe do that “per capita” thing i keep hearing about.

i feel like it’s pretty disingenuous to appeal to the 10% of people shot being unarmed as a way to assert that the 80% armed with a deadly weapon & potentially threatening the life of another person are probably innocent.
