@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
@zackkanter @RealEricBrown @pmarca your hypothesis was fewer cops.. where does increased cop hours focused on saving more lives come from?
@JamieClarkCobb @RealEricBrown @pmarca just example #s: drug crimes take 50% of police time. Reduce force by 40% = net gain in hours.
