Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents

Misleading. More accurate statement: 2/3rds of homicides in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been by DHS agents, but it's a very small sample.

It isn’t a “sample.” It’s the actual murders committed YTD.

Critique by Gemini Pro AI: 1. The Fallacy of Small Sample Size (Hasty Generalization) 2. Lack of Context (Cherry-Picking) 3. The "Texas Sharpshooter" Fallacy 4. Ambiguity of "Committed By"

It isn’t a sample.
