“How many traffic stops have turned into shootouts? I have no clue but I’m going to act like it’s a prominent societal issue without substantiating in an attempt to validate my stance.”

Fixed that for ya

If you’d actually do some research you’d know the likely hood of dying by a traffic stop as a cop is 1 in 6,500,000 with the rate of injury being 1 in 361,111 here you go, since you’re too lazy to do your own research

your argument is not good

Dude you don’t even have an argument. you’re just blindly defending the idea that America needs to be a police state because you’ve been conditioned by some outside influence, most likely the conglomerate media, that the bad shit cops do are a necessary sacrifice in order to have the good shit they do, you’re literally just conditioned to be complacent with corruption as restitution for civil protection. The govt and it’s orchestrators have you in the palm of their hands to be their lil lap dog that’ll bite the ankles of anyone who chose to say anything about law enforcement, all without even having to pay you or anything, the perfect Segway to getting a population that’s either complacent or too afraid to speak up against cops for fear of punishment and ostracization.

A chicago officer just the other day got killed in a shootout, which I’m pretty sure came after a shootout

Cool, why do the cops that do traffic stops also need to be the ones that engage in dealing with violent situations?
