anecdotal evidence works best when actual evidence is lacking. The same can be said for the „War on Cops,“ which has been cobbled together using a regression to the mean following a historic low (2014) and a random smattering of social media posts about „putting wings on pigs,“ etc.

James Comey remains resolute that this „effect“ is leading to spikes in crime (themselves possibly a regression to the mean after years of historic lows). Now he has another federal ally in the „War on Logic.“
