For perspective -- According to their 2019 report, the Louisville area had over 50,000 crimes reported and this does not include traffic violations which is probably another 100,000. You're talking about 2 cases with one involving a overzealous traffic cop. But they played these cases on certain TV stations over and over again because it was pulling in ratings and was sensational.
OK cool. Traffic violations are typically orders of magnitude above crime rates. However, let's go with your 2x figure and demonstrate to Dave how flawed his thinking his on these types of matters because of his clickbait obsession.
Question At Hand: Is corruption or lying prevalent in the Louisville Police Department as a whole?
Reported infractions in a year: 150,000 (50,000 + 100000)
Since this is a serious charge, we want to be pretty confidence in our assertion so we'll choose a 95% confidence interval which is a typical peg.
For the margin of error, we'll go with the typical 5%.
Pop Proportion: We'll again use a standard ~ 0.5
The formula to calculate the sample size, accounting for a finite population, is:
\[ n = \frac{N \times Z^2 \times p \times (1-p)}{(N-1)E^2 + Z^2 \times p \times (1-p)} \]
Based on these parameters, an infraction population of 150,000 with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error, a relevant sample size would be approximately
383 infractions.
So Dave, you would need to take a random sample of 383 infractions to analyze in order to determine whether there's a likelihood of the Louisville Police is more likely to be dirty.
Instead, you lean on 2 cherrypicked cases (not random) from the preening Don Lemon and allow him to infect your thoughts by stating it over and over and over again. This is also how low IQ liberal wine moms get duped and we end up kicking hardened criminals back on the street because they vote knuckleheads into positions of power who can't analyze anything either.
Similar thing happened in the Floyd Case where people where sacred to go out of their houses in Minneapolis because of this "Lemon Phenomenon" and other knuckleheads decided they wanted to burn down the country.
