There's 3-4 million police encounters per year, so the odds of an unarmed person being killed per encounter are roughly 1 : 100,000 If you're not resisting arrest etc, it becomes infinitesimal. Cities are being burned to the ground over sub-"killed by lightning" levels of danger https://twitter.com/ZaidJilani/status/1276319583675260934 …

That piece is a dispatch from an alternate universe where police go around sleuthing to discover the perpetrators of crimes - which are extraordinary events that people take when desperate to achieve their aims but can't do so within the law. Out of touch with reality entirely.

A bit further down more total and complete disconnect with reality. People in jail for "drug offenses" aren't harmless - they're there b/c you can intimidate witnesses but not police chemists. The last "reform" wave made prosecuting actual crime impossible.pic.twitter.com/0SIVvMmm2b
