In today's stupefied America, it wouldn't be safe because the police will be called and the police escalate things into unnecessary violence. In the 60's through 80's it would've been fine, but not now.

There wasn't any standardized data on police violence in the US in the 60s through 80s, but I doubt that it was any less significant.
Come on people, there was a civil rights movement in swing in the 60s in the US.
Richard Pryor in 1979 on policing:
> RP: Police got chokehold on you out here though, they choke n--- to death! I mean you be dead when they through! Did you know that?
> [Audience indistinctly yelling back "Yeah!"]
> RP: The n--- going "Yeah we know!," white people going "no, I had no idea!"
I have too many family stories of the things police used to do to believe that it was better back then. My gut tells me things are better now but maybe I am just not in the know.
