I guess it boils down to - is everyone you encounter as a cop a threat? Did Garner die because he was perceived as a threat?
To be succinct. Yes. And Garner, having 31 priors, would be known to most cops in the area, and you could pretty well guess things aren't gonna go smooth for #32 Oh, and for his actions to negate his pleas...another Yes.
When I do a ride-along with one of our K9 guys, what absolutely scares the schitt out of me the most is a basic traffic stop.
If you did have a desire to spend time on the street, you'd understand why.
