"San Jose police shoot own antiracism trainer in groin as he attempts to protect young women they are shooting at point blank range." OK, so I guess that's a bit long for a headline. "Police shoot own antiracism trainer as he attempts to halt police brutality"?

Here's a less misleading presentation of the same data from the

1. This is a plot of the derivate of employment rate. A V-shaped derivative *is not a recovery*. It just means you staunched the bleeding. 2. It's also bullshit: https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1269091899140378624 …https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1268927124452380672 …

TIL much better scientists than I are too cowardly to use their real names and cannot read well enough to tell the difference between models I criticized since the day they were released and models I developed.https://twitter.com/JonBTrade/status/1269079504967725056 …

what is there to even say? “For three years, Derrick Sanderlin has helped train new police recruits about implicit bias and procedural justice. He wonders now if that work was in vain.”https://abc7news.com/san-jose-police-george-floyd-protest-bay-area-shot-by-during/6234212/ …

6. The fact that millions are taking to the streets in all 50 states, despite the personal risk of harm, speaks volumes. Change is long overdue and bringing about this change is a public health necessity and a human justice issue as well. Thank you to those taking a stand.

5. That's the science. Now the ethical side of things. I am not merely a scientist. I am a human being, and a citizen. Peaceful protest is a fundamental right and even responsibility of all Americans. No cause is more pressing than the racial disparities we face in America today.

4. Especially in areas without aggressive police responses, I do not expect a greater burst of COVID transmission due to protest than due to reopening activity, for example, though as with everything in science I could end up being wrong about this. We will know soon enough.

3. Police tactics, from tear gas to pepper spray to kettling to incarceration of demonstrators, exacerbate matters substantially. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has the right idea in suspending the use of tear gas for the coming month.

2. While the spread of COVID seems to be much less of an issue outdoors (by 20- to 500-fold according to some estimates), and while masks appear to help considerably, crowded conditions are always concerning—and singing, shouting, etc. create large clouds of respiratory droplets.

1. Many people have asked me whether the ongoing Black Lives Matter protests around the country pose a risk of increasing coronavirus spread. As a scientist, I acknowledge that they may. As a citizen, I wholeheartedly support the protests nonetheless.
