America is a land of guns and violence and that probably can’t change. police and conservative society understand things stereotypically because it’s also sometimes true
Serving an eviction notice can get you shot when random people own guns and crime is normal
A car speeding could be armed dudes with drugs or something and they’ll kill you in the middle of an empty highway in Colorado or wherever
Dangerous violent assholes with guns have mental health episodes too 🤷♀️
I hear you, but if people know that someone giving them a speeding ticket will not be arresting or shooting them wouldn't it serve them better to not pull guns and lead to anything more? Criminals today attack officers during a traffic stop because the officers are trained to fish for an arrest.
That’s not the sole reason criminals attack officers and there’s no reason to think you’d be safe
Why would it serve them better? They can just shoot you and drive away and it’s hundreds of miles to the nearer station
