    this sounds awfully similar to “man or bear”

    just because police are uncompetent pigs who sometimes shoot the caller, doesn’t mean that in the majority of the cases they’ll shoot them.

    And just because you have that 1% risk of getting wrongly shot (could be lower, pulled the number out of my ass) doesn’t mean you should try to face the very real and instant threat of another person trying to stab you.

      and just as man vs bear, you have to be very privileged to not get why bear is the popular choice.
