This is what happens when every traffic stop is billed as a combat situation. Cops feel like their dangerous (and they are) because America can't pass sensible gun restrictions.
- whelp_24 3y agoCops don't actually get shot all that much. Most deaths were covid-19 during the pandemic.
- pnutjam 3y agoOh yeah, that's 100% true, but take a look at the way they train each other.
- Vecr 3y agoWhat do you mean by "sensible"? People would probably start carrying Glocks with a suppressor, stock, vertical front grip, and micro red dot. That's only sort of safer for police as long as people don't look up how to make an armor piercing bullet.
- pnutjam 3y agoIt's always fun having gun nuts pretend to debate in good faith. Thanks
- mrguyorama 3y agoLol statistically nearly every traffic stop is a completely benign affair with zero danger. Cops just spend all their training being told everyone is trying to kill them and to shoot anything they don't like. Meanwhile, the vast majority of cop deaths are from traffic accidents, but try telling cops to stop driving like idiots or driving distracted and they'll just tell you "no no no no it's a hard and dangerous job". Sanitation workers die on the job more often than cops.
