I try to avoid getting swayed too much by news stories and anecdotes, such as videos posted online. Much of that tragic stuff is never seen by me in my life, so I'll need some broad statistics before extrapolating that there's a growing problem with this or that.

Whether it's videos of "Karens" or Fox News focusing on the worst behavior during protests, I need better evidence that something is more widespread than in the past.
