biggest issue:

  • authors claim US has below average cops per capita using lowball estimate of ~700k (ignoring feds, etc)
  • admit in private correspondence that the total number of cops could be 1.2 million (hey look there’s the 500k cops you’re asking for)
  • toss in private police and that makes the US have twice the cops as average :porky-happy:

Also the authors have the premise that more police = fewer prisoners since there’s just too few cops so they have to throw you in jail for a decade for possessing weed or else they couldn’t keep up with all the crime

I looked at some data myself: Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate and wait, hold on, THIS CANT BE!!! THE 3RD HIGHEST NUMBER OF COPS PER CAPITA!!! this is simply impossible to predict
