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 …
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

Think about it this way - does that piece read like from one that shares a reality with the existence of a "serial random attacker"? Odd isn't it? "Serial random attacker" is not something you'd think would exist in the world Yudkowski wants to reformhttps://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/disturbing-video-shows-random-attack-hydrant-head-smash-of-92-year-old-woman-in-manhattan/2466659/ …

Good for you to say it so explicitly, but from the perspective of people who still believe in the "rule of Law" and "equality under the Law" things, selective enforcement of drug crimes (based on who the police think looks like a bad guy) is Really Really Bad!! 1/3

Even if "looks like a bad guy" is a proxy for Actual Crimes, that's still not a Justice system! And if we don't have Justice, then we have something more like ... low-level ethnic gang war where one side has better organization and fancier uniforms?? 2/3http://benjaminrosshoffman.com/nightmares-perfectly-principled/ …
