@mekkaokereke I noticed before how 2-3 viral vids of a crime, pushed onto TV often enough, can in fact make people believe there's a huge crime wave.

Because so much screen time features crime.

Then when you look up really boring stats which are just numbers in a CSV, it turns out crime has been trending down for decades, and still is.

No screen time for that, though.

And if those few vids all feature a black perp, you've fed the racists a narrative.

It's incitement, really.
