I think it is worth mentioning that those fears are largely unfounded. The US is a much safer country today than it was 20-30 years ago. Especially the situation and social standing for many black Americans have improved tremendously. The US is not unique in that -- crime has fallen in most of the Western world -- yet people are more afraid than ever!

That may be true, but media has warped out perceptions. The internet makes every mass shooting and earthquake and police brutality instantly reported to the entire planet and so the perception is that we are in more danger than ever before.
