Virtual worlds often allow this, since many users have multiple avatars.

Doing that with multiple passwords is a weird way to do that just make a character selection area...

I don't think you even need a hostile state actor. Almost nobody I've discussed current affairs with that is supportive of the rioters is capable of understanding that the only correct way to compare racial/gender disparities in excessive use of police force is based on per 10,000 arrests per violent crime.

So you look at arrests of violent crime and decide that is the only way to asses racial/gender disparities in excessive use of police force?? Why is that a correct way? What about stops by police, arrests of non-violent crime, murders by police?

One reason is because the burden to manufacture crimes is far higher. Every violent crime necessarily has a victim and if the victim survived the encounter they can identify affirmatively the characteristics of their assailant.

The problem with non-violent crimes is that they could be tainted by biases since there isn't always as concrete/reliable an eyewitness.

Someone attacks me and it's a lot easier to trust what I report. I see someone steal something at a distance, and my eyewitness account is less trustworthy.
