Ever hear people saying "we' re afraid of the police"?
Why?
Seriously - what are the odds of you being killed by a police officer?
.....
Lets look at some facts.
In 2020 - some 45,000 people got killed with firearms in the USA.
In 2020 - just over 1000 people were killed by police.
Now - even if you discount half of the 45,000 - as they are suicides - you still are 20 times more likely to be killed by gunfire from a civilian, than a cop.
To me this is illogical as someone going into the ocean without a PFD - but is terrified of sharks.....
They are far more likely to drown - but they' re pissing themselves over the idea of a shark attack....
Just plain stupid I think....
