It's so ubiquitous that an officer assumes the worst and unloads his clip at the mere suggestion of a weapon. I can only wonder how many more people would be alive if gun regulation became stringent. Perhaps the officers make different choices in an America with fewer guns. It's worthy a try...no?

100 percent this.
Also an officer has to assume the worst or they aren't going home to their families. There are plenty of videos on the internet of the shooting going the other way and if some of you would watch those you might have a better understanding of why these things turn out this way.
But when everyone potentially has a gun...even traffic stops are an intense high stress situation sometimes.
Yet very few people seem to mention this when these shootings happen, it's all about making the problem worse, no "victim" blaming, "defund" the police, descalation techniques blah blah and now these incidents are monetized, which also isn't going to help, Suicide by Cop is a real thing
