> Stewart Baker, an attorney at the Washington, D.C. office of Steptoe & Johnson LLP and a former assistant secretary of policy at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said the BlueLeaks data is unlikely to shed much light on police misconduct, but could expose sensitive law enforcement investigations and even endanger lives.

far-right extremist terrorism greatly outranked radical wahabbi/salafists and similar in 2018/2019, domestically, in the USA:

I see that first link kind of buried the lede in footnote 2: " The number of casualties from attacks by Islamic extremists has been greater than by right-wing extremists, largely because of a few cases like Omar Mateen’s Pulse nightclub attack that killed 49 people and wounded 53 others."

So right wing terrorism is a greater threat, unless you are worried about being killed.

If you are killed it doesn't matter how many others died with you. I personally tend to be more worried about things that happen often and are widespread, than things that happen seldom and are more localized.

But if asked "Are you more worried about right wing or islamist extremists?", my answer is "Yes".

From a number point of view, you should be more worried about common crime than terrorism from any side.

For relevant reasons, I'm more concerned about having my hard-earned money seized through civil asset forfeiture than my house being robbed by some random criminal.

>>some_f+O5
Especially when the people forfeiting your money are also the one criminalizing the drugs that the random criminal needs to rob your house to be able to afford, lacking any support for their conditions elsewhere because that money is put into police budgets instead.

(It's also worthwhile in discussions about "crime" to remember that it's a very loaded term. For example, wage theft numbers absolutely eclipse burglary, yet those are rarely what we think about when we hear "crime")
