1. There are hundreds of millions of guns and people in America. 2. Police officers help black (and white) people millions of times per year. 3. Police officers murder black (and white) people at most dozens of times per year. 4. Black criminals murder thousands of black people per year. Any black person who is more afraid of being murdered by a police officer than a black criminal is being highly irrational. Any person that can't accept the reality that a small number of murders of black (and white) people by police are inevitable in such a big and well armed country is being highly irrational. A totally reasonable goal is to try to reduce the number of murders as much as possible, which is something that no one disagrees with. The idea that police are murdering in huge numbers, or that the problem is growing precipitously, is simply a result of people unable to overcome selection bias. They're watching a handful of videos and then exaggerating the problem in their minds.
