We live in a country where drunk drivers kill >10,000 people/year. Whether you think people who play dice with others' lives this way should be jailed, diverted to treatment or just relieved of their licenses, "do nothing because they might resist arrest" is fucking insane https://twitter.com/WesleyLowery/status/1272651455518912512 …
It doesn't make any sense to "extrapolate" anything from a routine arrest to use of lethal force, and it invites a lot of pointless and stupid arguments about who "deserves" to die. It's exactly these kinds of strained associations that warp the conversation beyond repair.

I was unclear. Merely noting that LEOs use lethal force on a case-by-case basis & are being accused of bias, that's all. I think it's still worthwhile to consider policies to make fewer & less antagonistic LEO interactions. ACK "Uber-for-DWIs" prob cost>benefit. Still tragic
