Police Are A Net Negative To Society - Statistical Evidence

• According to the FBI, the national rate of violent crime is 386 per 100,000.

• The national rate of arrest is about 3,888 per 100,000.

• Subtract arrests for violent & property crimes (the only potentially justified arrests, the only ones with a victim), which is 166 for violent crimes and 528 for property crimes, and you’re left with 3,194. Yes, that means over 82% of arrests are for victimless “crimes”.

• Arresting somebody for a victimless “crime” is itself an act of violent aggression; you are kidnapping and caging a person at implied gunpoint without justification beyond made up political scribbles. That is unjust violence.

• So in a group of 100,000 Americans, about 386 will be the victim of a private violent criminal, and 3,194 will be unjustly kidnapped and caged at implied (or overt) gunpoint by the police. That means unjust violence by police comes in at a rate of 3,194 per 100,000 while unjust violence by private criminals comes in at 386 per 100,000

• In America, therefore, you are 8x as likely to be violently victimized by a police officer, than by anybody else.

Police are a net negative to society.
