    The best way to not got shot by the police is don’t brandish a weapon and don’t try to escape arrest. If you don’t do either of those things, you have a < 0.000001% chance of getting shot. Absolutely microscopic amounts relative to the total population.

      What about relative to other countries?

        why is that relevant? Two things can be true at once:

        1. USA policing can be improved
        2. There is not a 50/50 chance you will be shot by police when you encounter them

          How is it not relevant? The USA is a country in the world. Why can’t it be compared to other countries in the world lol?

            You should read the thread you are commenting on and what I was replying to.

              I have. 50/50 is an exaggeration, but like I said, let’s compare the rates to other developed countries, shall we? Most of the work is done for us.

              Looks like you live in a shit hole where cops regularly get away with murdering innocent civilians!
