I know of at least one officer who routinely approached traffic stops gun in hand. When dismissed from one department soon hired by another. Had a long career.
I heartily applaud my local officers who dealt with several highly dangerous situations without feeling the need to fill the air and person with bullets.
Killing takes only a second; and a lifetime of regret won’t undo the act.
How many of them regret the actual outcome, and not regret getting caught?
Wait, someone was shot here?
