As is the myth you are likely to die when being arrested.
How many arrests are there in the US ?
The last figures I could find (for 2018) was over 10 Million per year.
Arrest related deaths seem harder to find figures for, but appears to be around 600 - 800 per year.
If you go with the higher figure, then 800 out of 10,000,000 is 0.008%
So you have far more chance of dying from any one of many other causes.
Of course, if you didnt break the law, and resist when arrested, then the problem would cease to exist.
