What do you base that statement on? Your region of the country may differ from mine. I will be forced to deal with what I have, not what you have.
I can burn up every shred of bandwidth on this forum with YouTube encounters that went bad with police, from assault to murder.
Sure you can. Balance that against the actual number of crimes, and you have statistics. Without the other numbers, you simply have one side of it. IMHO, ONE such instance is too many. But, for further discussion, I refer you to the term "innumeracy." Many persons are afraid of flying because plane crashes make the news, while completely ignoring that the reality is that a person has a MUCH greater chance of dying in a car on the way to the airport than in a plane crash.
The view of "die in a plane crash" is a view based upon fear, and is not based in real world statistical analysis. The same is the case for a fear of "beat/shot/tazed" mistakenly by LE.
Present the raw statistics against the numbers of "victimized by crime" and you have a discussion.
