      Same, when I saw it I said “no freaking way.” The sheer audacity.

    As someone whose statistics professor gave all of his lectures in a fun house where he projected the slides across the mirrors, I must greatly commend the FDLE for its accessibility efforts of tailoring this diagram to my specific preferences

      Idk

      This seems too ridiculous to be an innocuous mistake. Who just flips the Y axis for dramatic effect?

          I understand that you are not defending the graph. Just want to point out one thing that makes all the difference. This graph has the X axis on the top which makes more sense and actually makes the red look like dripping blood. OP graph has the X axis at the bottom which is why it looks like a scam attempt.

            Yep, at a glance I had no problem understanding the SCMP graph but the florida graph took me a bit. Axes make all the difference.

            Edit: also the captions on the bottom of the graph, so it flows logically. The florida graph has the caption at the top of the bullet point

      The graph was sourced from the Florida department of law enforcement. Hard to tell if it’s upside down because a dumb ass cop drew it, or is it intentionally manipulative? Remember that cops don’t go to college.

        not sure if that was sarcasm but , some states require college degree before becoming a peace officer.

      On first glance it still seems like gun deaths are overall increasing, since the time axis is mirrored relative to the usual orientation.

        Yes, you’re right, I should’ve flipped it horizontally as well.
