It's a study with multiple data points of his interactions with police. If you want to predict how police will treat him in the future, it's probably the best data out there. If that's what you're saying, we're in violent agreement.

However, it had little predictive value for how the police treated Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle, And a billion data points of "officer friendly" interactions with other people won't bring back either murder victim.
Would be predictive.....you just are using an outlier as your example. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Chief and his goons need to be strung up. However, that doesn’t mean I am ready to bastardize statistical analysis to fit a narrative.
