With all of these reports on the Police, LEO’s etc. I’ve come to the conclusion that these guys must be frightened out of their skulls on a deep emotional basis. I just can’t equate the trigger-happiness I read in these reports on anything else.

You can equate their trigger-happiness with the steroids coursing through the veins of these LEO thugs. The communities and Police Chiefs that hire them, and the US Department of "Just-Us" that tolerate them, kinda like it this way; helps keep the sheeple under their thumb - sheeple, as in a significant portion of the US.

“these guys must be frightened out of their skulls on a deep emotional basis.”

Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia ran a country with a very
small crime rate. Almost every crime was punishable by
death. Some cops mistake or don’t know the difference
between fear and respect.
Some cops, at first, don’t understand the difference.
Respect is earned, demanding
it is fear not respect. Yes they are afraid. When they
realize that they and their fellow punk cops have made
it nearly impossible for them to earn the respect they
demand. All they have left is to use absolute fear to
gain command of any situation and control of their own
fear.

Try equating it with Barney Fife dick-heads on power trips who know their "brother" dick-heads will always lie and cover their asses.

I agree.

I also wonder how much informal "training" is being done at home using "Grand Theft Auto" or "Call of Duty".

Instant reaction under stress is usually trained reaction and "muscle memory".

Many are, it is why they wanted the badge and the gun and the "authority".
