How Does Statistics on Cop on Black Crime" - #SOC119 Work?

Imagine you're playing a game where you and your friend take turns hiding toys in different parts of the house, sometimes in the kitchen, sometimes in the living room, and so on. Now, Statistics on Cop on Black Crime (or #SOC119) is like a special tool that helps you figure out if one person hides more toys than the other, or if they're hiding them in certain spots more often.

Statistics are like counting and comparing, it’s how we figure out patterns from numbers. In this case, #SOC119 is a way to see if cops stop Black people more often than others, and what happens after those stops.

Think of it as keeping track of every time a cop pulls someone over. If you notice that most of the people stopped are Black, and they're usually pulled over for small things like not wearing a seatbelt, then statistics help show that this might not be random, it could be part of a bigger pattern.

It’s like counting how many times your friend hides toys in the living room versus you hiding them in the kitchen. If one of you does it way more often, you can say there's a pattern!
