Talk:Flag desecration

Philippines

I've reverted this edit as original research. This interpretation, that Article XVI § 1 of the 1987 Philippine constitution explains why flag desecration is illegal in the Philippines, would need to be supported by a cited reliable source.

Clarification of "disproportionately"

In

In 2020, as protests spread across the U.S. demanding an end to police brutality, some U.S. citizens chose to fly their flags upside down in solidarity with the movement supporting American minorities, mainly African Americans, who are disproportionately victims of killings by police.

the word disproportionately bothers me -- its meaning here is, I think, unclear. I think the first of the two sources cited was intended to support the use of that word here. That source says:

According to the research group Mapping Police Violence, African Americans are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a white person.

Quoting that directly rather than characterizing it as disproportionately would meet WP's citing guidelines but would, I think, give a false impression of what the source attributed inline there said. I'm guessing here, but I think the info came from https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/; that web page changes frequently, a snapshot as of today can be seen here. That says in part:

Black people have been 28% of those killed by police since 2013 despite being only 13% of the population.
Database updated as of 6/23/2020

Actually, it's not immediately clear to me how to get a 2.5 times figure from that but I'm guessing that it could be done.

Digging around, though, I found Lynne Peeples (September 4, 2019). "What the data say about police shootings". Nature. which says "One paper published in August found that a black man is 2.5 times more likely than a white man to be killed by the police during his lifetime" and cites "Risk of being killed by police use of force in the United States by age, race–ethnicity, and sex". PNAS. 116 (34): 16793–16798. August 20, 2019. doi:10.1073/pnas.1821204116. (first published August 5, 2019)

I updated the article to cite the Nature and PNAS sources. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 17:01, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Chile

I have added data for Chile. The map now should be updated (but that's beyond my skills).
