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

While I agree there has to be a better way than firing 90 errant shots to stop a suspect. Don't you think? Do you think they've nailed the solution here? This is like a SNL skit or like what Team America World Police was mocking. There is a thing called overkill and the USA passed that point several years ago but continue along pedal down. It's odd.
