> I don't think I'd ever go and ask for help from a US cop except in the direst of circumstances Pretty silly. Most, if not all, cops I've encountered have been decent and helpful human beings.

Their being armed doesn't change anything, plenty of everyday non-police citizens walking around armed too. No reason for fear.
