Its important to specify what you mean by community. Is it a city, a district, a neighborhood? If its a city, then even if all 300 murders happened in that city, it still wouldn’t be a leading cause of death. It is much more possible that a smaller group of people may have been targeted enough that this could be a leading cause of death. Although, I’'m still skeptical based on that 300 statistic for the entire country.

I personally know many people who have died of cancer and none who have been killed by police. But, that means effectively nothing. Its an anecdote that has no value as evidence. I want statistics, not stories. Its not your job to educate me, but you are volunteering to put time and effort into arguing your case with me. I don’t think its that crazy to then expect you to back up that case with actual evidence.

It doesn’t make you look reasonable when you refuse to back up your claims, and then call me uneducated because I don’t already agree with you.
