It's not just murder, it's being beaten by the cops, arrested and being hauled through the system and a variety of other things.

We would have to try to come up with numbers around how often beatings happen by police versus by criminals, to compare.

That might be interesting, but the numbers around those things are much less reliable. Numbers about deaths are usually better data, more objective, and easier to find.
