@zackkanter@pmarca don't know about the last leap on fewer cops = fewer deaths. Valid hypothesis but where is it proven?
@RealEricBrown @pmarca simple statistics. some % of interactions w/police end in death. fewer cops means fewer interactions = fewer deaths

@zackkanter@pmarca your assumption is cops never prevent death? Cops prevent more death than they cause, or else there would be no need... -
@RealEricBrown@pmarca yep, cops save lives too. If they were making fewer nonviolent drug arrests, they'd have even more time to save lives - 2 more replies
