There were 460 people killed by police officers in America in 2012. 120 were black, and 340 were white. Police officers made 12,196,959 arrests in 2012. This means that if you have an altercation with police and resist arrest, you have a 0.003771069209613406% chance of being killed. I’d say the odds are still PRETTY MUCH in your favor. Police officers have a difficult job to do, and the vast majority do it without incident. Police officers have the legal authority to use whatever force is necessary to affect the arrest. Want to up your already overwhelmingly great odds of surviving an incident involving law enforcement? Don’t reach for an officer’s weapon, and don’t resist arrest.
