Does that chart include all the violence perpetrated by the police on a daily basis? If it doesn’t it is utterly incomplete, as all police violence is right-wing violence.
It does not, and in fact they didn’t even include all Jan. 6 rioters in the dataset, instead focusing only on those who had ties to extremist groups.
I actually make this same argument towards the end of my video, pointing out how right-wing violence is often institutionalized and so isn’t included in extremism databases (e.g. police brutality, the Israeli genocide), and yet despite all of these datasets being flawed and arguably incomplete, they still consistently find that violence is far more common on the right than on the left.
