If you're a journalist, especially one that doesn't do data analysis, it's not great to post half-baked graphs on social media and draw conclusions from them.
A local Seattle Times guy threw some charts up this AM and said they mean something. In this context (Seattle's '25 mayoral), they do not.

Taco Stand on Northgate was back open tonight. As I went we watch SPD go around in circles and turns on their sirens a few times. What is this? This seems very strange if they’re doing something wrong then talk to them. This felt like intimidation
