If you're a cop it does. You'll find people right here on FR that think that "officer safety" trumps the 2nd amendment every time. If a cop sees a 'gun', he can kill anyone with impunity regardless of what the 'gun' actually turns out to be.
Being a cop isn't even one of the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the country. It may not even be in the top 20.
Oh, you have people on Free Republic, and they are legion, who believes everything the Police does is right. Example: Throwing flash bang grenade[s] in cribs with sleeping infants. In other words, the Police can do no wrong.
