The unmentioned insanity of this evolution is, everyday law abiding citizens have been dumped in the center of the chasm, without choice or clear path to extract themselves from the madness on both sides.
That’s a good point sir. But the default position of treating everyday citizens as violent criminals until proven otherwise is inherently wrong in my opinion. We are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in this country. Someone pointing a gun at the head of a police officer who pulled them over has clearly given up that presumption of innocence. If routine traffic stops are so dangerous, then maybe they should simply stop doing them, especially for extremely minor infractions. Is a window tint that is too dark worth the life of a police officer...? Is the revenue generated for the government for such an extremely minor infraction worth the life of a police officer...? What about the lives of innocent everyday citizens...if they end up getting killed on the side of the road by the police because they were scared to death and as a result didn’t follow their every command exactly as they commanded em’ to, or exactly when they commanded em’ to, or they made one minor move under these circumstances that they weren’t commanded to...is it worth a busted tail light...? Is the revenue generated for the government for such an extremely minor infraction worth the life of an innocent everyday citizen...?
