Sure, and I’m much more statistically likely to be hurt by a dog than mauled by a lion. But I’m not going to give up my dogs and start wandering into lion cages at the zoo.

With travel, we often talk about deaths per x miles traveled. I think in this case a reasonable metric would be deaths or injuries per x minutes of interaction.

In a fascinating irony, more than 40% of cops admit to instigating domestic violence at home (which begs the question of how many more have, but don't admit it?).

Most automotive collisions happen within 50 miles of your home.

(You interact with your own family members many orders of magnitude more often than with the police; as such, raw numbers here would be wildly misleading.)

Yes, but people in general don't weight their families as much of a danger as strangers. Interacting with cops has become scary for people.

If you have a cop as a family member, you are at an elevated risk of each of those, and much of that is the special risk of getting both simultaneously.
