It is very difficult for people to step aside from themselves and realize that a cop does not know if you are Mother Theresea or Al Capone.
Even if the cop runs your plate before approaching and you come up clean, he does not know that you are that person or you just went mad.
You must follow instructions and don’t make a move without direction or permission.
It literally will get you killed.
The woman’s lack of compassion for the dying was remarkable. She went into this detached infomercial while the guy was dying.
When dealing with cops, you’re far more likely to get Al Capone...
The best (highest) estimate for LEO’s active in the US is around 900,000. This apparently includes the dogs, but for the purposes of comparison it will have to do.
That leaves around 319,100.000 of us “civilians” who aren’t working in law enforcement.
(about a 354 to 1 ratio.)
in 2015 there were 41 reported police fatalities due to gunshot wounds in the US. (two of these were reported as accidental, 4 were dogs.)
At the same time, LEOs shot and killed 1142 perps, civilians, whatever your preferred terminology. None of these were dogs.
(about a 29 to 1 ratio)
In other words, any given member of the population is about 10,365 times more likely to get shot by a cop than a cop is by any given member of the population...
