Do you think the reason why police officers in the USA are so twitchy on the triggers is that anyone they pull over for a traffic offence, or anyone they stop in the street after shoplifting (pretty issues here) could be carrying a firearm ?

I can't imagine how bad it must be to be in uniform in a country where there are more guns than people
Do you ever think, that cops are supposed to be trained to be cool and level headed yet act like crazed maniacs in these situations. Meanwhile the guy at the other end of the barrel who has no training is expected to do everything right and stay calm and level headed while having guns pointed at them..

Why is it ok to allow cops to "fuck up" and kill people by mistake but the guy they shoot is deserving because he also fucked up?

How about its not ok to shoot unarmed suspects no matter how stupid they maybe.
