“If your chances of being robbed have declined, but your chances of being stopped, harassed, or even brutalized by police have risen, are you better off?

Looking around our society, we see frightening trends: The militarization of police, officers disciplining children violently, family pets summarily shot in mistaken midnight raids, a hundred SWAT-style home invasions a day, and the largest per capita prison population on earth.”
