Since someone (Dana7360 ) noted that 93% of protests are “non-violent”, I thought it would be interesting to look at the statistics for what these protests are screaming about...deaths occurring during arrests.
It looks like there are over 10 million arrests each year, with about 400-600 deaths each year. We will average it to 500. 500 out of 10 million is a 0.005% of arrests that lead to a death of the individual being arrested. So 99.995% of all arrests are non-lethal.

So it certainly seems a lot safer for a black man to get arrested than to attend a BLM riot rally, just ask David Dorn.
