Seems to me the success of this method would depend on a number of factors, including primarily the color of one's skin. If you are black or brown and additionally male that could increase your chances significantly.
If you assume everyone lives in America. Though even there men are far more likely to be killed by police regardless of their race. This bias stacks with racial prejudice in the case of black men in the US specifically. Black women are less likely to deal with police brutality or shootings than white men even there. Though they face more on average than white women, but that doesn't mean white women are immune as there are other factors. Female sex workers are often brutalised by police regardless of their skin colour for example, but this is a phenomena which is mostly prevalent in countries where sex work isn't decriminalised. People prone to psychosis and mania are many times more likely to be shown excessive or lethal force than any other group period, especially men, and all the more so black men in the US. Then obviously blacks in countries where they represent the majority do not face any noticeable discrimination, for obvious reasons.
I'm always baffled when people act like majority-white countries represent a global norm when in fact they are the opposite. Moreover they usually have some of the lowest rates of police homicides and corruption
period. Doesn't mean things cannot be improved or that there are no groups that get the shaft, as there certainly are, but it would be nice to see these things measured against a yardstick that actually exists as opposed to some perfect fantasy culture that only exists in certain people's imagination.
I mean I'm a poor, disabled man with psyche issues that often lead to mania and I don't consider the police my friends. I have a partially crippled hand to testify to that fact. Still I recognise that, while my demographic is marginalised here I am sill very, very lucky to live here. There are many places where I would fare much worse. In fact I'd have died, CTB'd or been tossed in prison a long time ago.
