> encounters with law enforcement are probably more deadly on average than jaywalking

36 pedestrians were killed last year in accidents in my city. We have one contested police shooting.

31 the year before that, two contested shootings.

At least biweekly there's an article in the local paper about someone hit while illegally crossing a highway, often at night. I have unfortunately seen a pedestrian get hit by crossing on a red walk sign, luckily they survived.
