Your personal experience is a sample size of one.
You are one person and your experience is one person's experience. As data, it's no more or less valid than any other persons'.
His personal experience is a study in it’s own right. His study contains multiple data points which have been used to analyze and draw a conclusion. His conclusion is vastly more valid than a singular data point.
It's a study with multiple data points of his interactions with police. If you want to predict how police will treat him in the future, it's probably the best data out there. If that's what you're saying, we're in violent agreement.
However, it had little predictive value for how the police treated Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle, And a billion data points of "officer friendly" interactions with other people won't bring back either murder victim.
