Demonstrations and Political Violence in America is Pretty Biased

I look into the study called Demonstrations and Political Violence in America, and it is pretty biased. This study is known for stating that protests are mostly peaceful, particularly that 93% of protests are peaceful. I go through many of the specific examples it gives, from Micheal Brown, to Rashard Brooks, to Jacob Blake, and the study also covers the activities in Lafayette Square, CHAZ, and Portland. I think this study had some interesting data, and I appreciate having it, but considering the red flags I saw in this study, I still don’t think the term ‘mostly peaceful protests’ applies nearly as often as it is used.

If you enjoyed this video, I would recommend this video on a deep dive into data on systemic racism: https://youtu.be/-XsbyPZ3bLw
