Just read the article, and these quotes stand out:
"The final count of those "fifteen since '95"? Twelve had threatened arresting officers' lives with some type of weapon before they were killed."
"Three days of chaos. Nearly $4 million in damage to the city, most of it in predominantly black areas that could ill afford economic downturn. Record levels of homicides, particularly among blacks, as the police, hamstrung by new rules of engagement, could no longer effectively protect the very people who had demonized them."
Similarly, some "Black Lives Matter" victims were flawed. The BLM protests resulted less policing of Black neighborhoods, which resulted in more homicides. The police don't want to be the villain, so they stay away. Statistica shows 229 Blacks were killed by police in 2022, compared to over 10,000 homicides of Black lives.

More men are being killed by the police than women? Well, it just so happens that a large percentage(if not the majority)of these fellas attacked the cops prior to being blasted full of holes, often times with a weapon
Men make up a disproportionate number of our nation's dope fiends and video game addicts? Whatever tragedies those dudes experienced in childhood, today they're choosing to shoot up in reaction to some external event they find upsetting, rather than grabbing themselves an ice cream sundae, and to remain glued to the damned X-Box instead of taking up dart throwing, calligraphy, or yoga
Many men are at the bottom of the socioecomic ladder? As was pointed out earlier in this thread

There's no shortage of blue collar jobs(Mechanics, HVAC technicians, roofers, construction, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, auto workers etc)that pay well, and many will train men with no experience because they are desperate for reliable employees. Whatever systemic problems exist which disproportionately affect men, our larger problem today is that we have entirely too many fellas who, when presented with these opportunities, respond with words to the effect of:
"That's nice, but saying Yes to such things means that I'll have to spend a few hours per day training for a profession. That means I'll have to miss Midnight's Edge's three hour screeds on how Kathleen Kennedy is ruining Star Wars, and watching that crap, instead of investing in things that will enrich my material existence long-term, is what's REALLY important to me"
