Why the experts keep getting it wrong

It always blows my mind when people cite sources that contradict the argument they&#x27;re using the source to support. Their link to the article they&#x27;re using to say &quot;very few Black people are shot by police&quot; has an entire section header called &quot;Black Americans are killed at a much higher rate than White Americans&quot;.<p>After seeing that, I stopped reading, because if someone thinks an article that says Black people get shot more is a reason to say Black people get shot less... then I can&#x27;t assume they have any idea what they&#x27;re talking about in general.

A perfect example of the &quot;straw man&quot; logical fallacy.
