Most White Americans feel safe in interacting with police whereas most Black Americans feared that police would kill them and hurt their family. "Approximately half of Black respondents preferred to be robbed or burglarized than to have unprovoked contact with officers."

Surely this is exactly the right test for what they wanted to show though.

"Do you want the situation where you have a definite material loss, or the situation that some people will see as a positive/harmless interaction and others will see as a potentially fatal interaction?"

If it was "Do you prefer to be burglarized and nobody gets hurt; or, stopped by the police but nothing bad happens in that police stop" - that just tests how people weigh up being stopped (when they know nothing bad will happen) versus the loss of their material things.

Having a known bad outcome versus an unknown outcome is the right way to tell how much people fear the unknown one/how risky they see it as.
