This one actually demonstrates some flaws in this graph format. Maybe it’s just how it’s expressed this time, but, here are some insights you might gain from this presentation that aren’t actually the case:

  • “the police shot the attacker 98 times” which just sounds like a normal headline about how police handle things.
  • Very near that branch, you can accidentally see “the police died by suicide 38 times”
  • and, similarly, “the police surrendered 15 times” which is a surprise because I thought that only happened at Uvalde.

Like, I get what is trying to be conveyed here but the format requires a lot of work for my brain to parse and makes it harder to understand.
