Not everyone, but there is a strange mix of gangsters and rednecks that will absolutely kill you over nothing.

I have had more people pull guns on me than officers and I would rather it be an officer any day over a road rager or a drug addict.

Having said that, there is definitely something to the nervous with a tool officer pulling their gun out in fear that is very unsettling. Also, it is always your fault if an officer shoots, even when it is clearly not your fault. I really hate that.
