    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.

        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?
