Levin mentioned the tiny number of police-citizen violence. This article was mentioned on another talk show. Local police involved in 400 killings per year

Citing data gathered by the Bureau of Justices Statistics in 2008, the IACP [International Association of Chiefs of Police] said less than 2% of the 40 million people who had contact with police reported the use of force or threatened use of force.
"In large part, the public perception of police use of force is framed and influenced by the media depictions which present unrealistic and often outlandish representations of law enforcement and the policing profession," the group said in a 2012 report."

The article points out that there has never been a comprehensive effort to gather the data needed to prove one way or the other.

So the victim's industry citing its Black Privilege can freely shout "unrealistic and often outlandish" claims at each and every individual personal tragedy involving a black citizen and police.
