When someone believes anecdotal evidence is representative of anything, you can be assured anything they say is of equal value.

Yes. Like Wikipedia. The video I linked too isn't anecdotal. I live in the “Hood” and know what black youth think of the coppers and, especially when the movement to 'Defund the Police' started, what was the prevailing thought. The fact that someone wrote a Wikipedia article and stated their opinion of what it meant, is anecdotal in and of itself! 🤦‍♂️
