The recent high profile police shootings were not during arrests for violent crimes, and in many of them the victims had committed no crime at all. You aren't going to change very many people's minds by citing statistics unrelated to their concerns, and some may even take offense at seemingly trying to steer the conversation from talking about killing clearly innocent people to violent fugitives.
