I sort of drive a lot. Not in Sf much, but when I do I think it compensates since they are longer trips. Still, per this thread, I don’t think you need to drive in order to die in a car accident. Does this count as a car accident?

Do carefully note how the language I used "a leading cause of death" rather than "the leading cause of death" might effect your expectations for my references and discussions.

I know, that’s why I think this is misleading, how many other causes of death are there total? How many of the total can be qualified as “leading”?

I mean I think a better statistic would be comparing pee capita police killings against other first world countries by capita? For instance uk a country ten times our size as a city kills orders of magnitude fewer people than sf does.

I don’t know how to gauge this. I’ve lived in Europe and I never encountered a “gangster” type. “Mob/mafia” sure, but they operate kinda behind the screens. Dunno how to exactly explain this, but I think other places have less violent crime but also less freedoms.

I don't think Americans are inherently more criminal, I think our police state is more racist murderously violent and politically oppressive. Your a wealthy working immigrant so you're not their target. It's the black people they really hate.https://www.google.com/amp/s/missionlocal.org/2020/12/former-bias-trainer-says-reinforced-narratives-about-black-people-as-criminals-by-nature-thrived-in-san-francisco-police-culture/ …

I haven’t always been wealthy (I don’t think I am now either, but I do get compensated fairly). I’ve spent some time in squats in oakland, and a bunch of weird places with a bunch of misfits. But fair enough, I do think if I were a few shades darker, it’s be a different story.

Yeah you're treated somewhat fairly me too, but 5% of our cities population is black and 50% of our prisoners are. Those sort of arrest and incarceration statistics mean our system is fundamentally racist, and doesn't keep us safe.

I’d compare these numbers with how many black people are considered poor or “uneducated” - (no college or trade). Not sure what I’d make of it but I think they’d be interesting to add to the mix.

You can examine whether our collective genocide started with economic issues or education ones, I cannot be content to do anything less than attempt to fight it's implementation. We must release prisoners or commit genocide with our racist authoritarian and murderous police.pic.twitter.com/c1WrcnHJPb

I've traveled quite extensively including for months at a time, but I've always lived in the us.
