Conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder took to Twitter to hit the Bucks with the facts:
Dear @Bucks,

50,000,000 police-civilian contacts each year
10,000,000 arrests
60,000 officers assaulted
1000 killed by the police (most resisted arrest with a weapon or resisted violently); 500 whites; 250 blacks; more unarmed whites killed than unarmed blacks.
Milwaukee @Bucks,
