[quote=Anonymous]The overwhelming majority of police encounters go just fine. I'm not saying systemic racism doesn't exist, or that individual police officers aren't explicitly racist, because many are. But risk needs to be put in perspective. I'm not saying to not coach your kids beforehand about what to do if stopped by police. But try not to heighten anxiety among children/young adults. 1,000 people were killed in 2019 by police officers. Out of millions of encounters. And those deaths are heartbreaking and tragic. But the risk is still incredibly small that it will happen to your loved one. [/quote]
