Would you change your tune if the anecdotes were instead about whites murdered by blacks? Given a large enough population, you can prove anything with anecdotes.
Exactly, which is why an open and complete back and forth discussion of the data is required to establish the truth. People who have trained themselves to be allergic to data often do so because their prejudices and preconceptions do not survive a careful analysis.

Why would I? My 'tune' is that anecdotes can be misleading, and statistics is the way to get a better picture. The anecdotes you mention don't change that.
