I have been stopped by them many times. Some they had a valid reason some they did not. Statistics is one thing. Thinking is this the day I get shot by the police is another. And no I do not think about getting shot in a drive by or by thugs. I no longer have peace of mind.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been attacked or harassed by the
police? I'm also no longer impressed with the NYPD. I have a friend
who works there and he can barely tolerate it. On the other hand,
Ruben has a point, statistically, your odds of getting their attention
in the first place are pretty low.
