For this, the article stacks the deck by giving information only on how 'police-involved' deaths are a leading cause.

The article's headline states that police involved death is a leading cause of death. The article gives numbers for those deaths but never provides support for that claim. There is no comparison with other causes of death to show that this is a leading cause.
