Why This Score

A-score: Local enforcement action with concerning violence characterization scores moderately on rule_of_law (4), civil_rights (4), and violence (5). Enforcement mechanism modifier 1.3x applied, but local scope reduces impact (0.7x). Severity shows moderate precedent concern (1.2x) for normalizing violent police language. Base 13 → final 13.15. B-score: Inflammatory quote 'going very violent' from authority figure creates high outrage potential (9) and media appeal (8). Strong mismatch signal (8) - quote appears decontextualized or selectively framed. Moderate intentionality (9/15) suggests strategic amplification. Layer1: 16.5, Layer2: 9.64, final 26.31. Delta: -13.16 indicates distraction exceeds constitutional damage. Classification: List B - hype-driven event with moderate but insufficient constitutional impact.
