This feels very push poll-y and unscientific.

Their intro to it is not exactly objective:

> "Defund the police” was the rallying cry of liberals in the Summer of 2020, motivating “mostly peaceful” protests that led to property damage in excess of two billion dollars across at least 20 US states (Johansmeyer, 2021).

Weirdly the report seems to switch randomly between "shot" and "killed" as a description, but I would assume the number shot is necessarily higher than shot and killed. Very sloppy.
