Annually more people are killed by cows then are killed by sharks, but people are generally fearful of sharks than cows. Is that irrational?

It would be if you lived on a dairy farm and never went to the ocean.

But not if you were in the ocean where sharks live.

If a black person is in a situation interacting with the cops I don't think it is irrational to be fearful of them since we know a disproportionate amount of bad shit cops do to people happen to black people.
