This is horribly reductive.
Put aside the sample size of one for a moment. The fact you've only dealt with the police when genuinely committing crimes, and their response was proportional to the crime, is most likely down to your skin colour.

And also due to the fact I was calm, reasonable, cooperative, and didn't point a gun at them. If you are trying to argue that a person's behavior has no effect on how likely they are to be killed by a cop then you are just completely wrong.
What about Charles Kinsey who was as cool and compliant and non-threatening as possible,
What about Donovan Lewis? Is it reasonable to execute a sleeping man?
What about Erik Cantu? I guess eating a hamburger in a parking lot is a capital offense?
BTW, the number of cases like the few I mentioned are FAR too numerous to even keep track of.
