Honestly wish cops were not allowed to have guns

Cops get too scared and just kill everyone. They should only be allowed non lethal bean bag guns.

Unsurprisingly,. You would find statistics do not agree with this outlandish statement

There was something like a hundred million US police citizen contact across the US last year with 990 or so police shooting. With probably close to a percent were justified shootings IE: school shooter. And were actually down this year by about 80 police shootings.

So if we have lets say 100 million police contact throughout the country a year, 900 people were shot and killed and a vast overwhelming majority were deemed to be good shoots.

I would say police do not kill everyone

I have been held at gun point by police multiple times. Every single time over nothing.

-When I was 19 and car broke down and had to walk to get groceries. They accused me of breaking a near by alcohol bottle on road and stealing the pb&j and bread. While holding me at gun point.

-When I was 15 and jogging 10 miles to prep for marines. They made me get on ground, emptied my pockets, pointed a gun at me for 10 minutes while they randomly yelled at me.

-When I was 22 visiting home from Marines. A cop pulled me over. I asked him what I did he said nothing. Like 8 more cops show up. They all have guns on me. He is all cheering and keeps asking me about and a bank and a scratch on corner of my SUV. I keep telling him I do not go to said bank, and my ex gfs Dad caused scratch on SUV. He keeps laughing and starts to put me in hand cuffs while they point guns at me. Then a girl cop shows up and says the robber had a silver car. They say nothing and just leave.

-When I was 28 they said they finally caught me, told me to get out of car, made up all these stupid crazy lies up about drugs and that I should admit it or it will be worse, had a female friend with me who was terrified as he had gun right up to my head. I told him I had no idea why you cops hate me. He started bursting out laughing saying "ohhhhh you know why!"

-When I was 26ish I was helping my brother with something at a social security building. The cop was struggling to open the door because of preasure for like 30 seconds. I reached around him and opened door. He grabbed my arm and pointed gun at me same time.

-When I was 30 and reading some safety precautions on a walmart bulletin board at Walmart, while waiting for my wife to come out of bathroom with our daughter. A off duty cop starts screaming at me he knows what I am doing. Pulls out a gun and calls over Wallmart staff to go get security. I tell him I am reading the board waiting for my wife and daughter. He starts screaming for me to get on ground and I better just wait because i am going to get mine. I told him I have no idea what he is talking about and if he just waits my wife will be out any second. He starts swearing and laughing and says I am the reason people like his wife has to be scared to use the rest room and says he will shoot me if I do not get down. Right at that moment my wife and daughter came out, and my terrified daughter came running to me. Then he goes "oh never mind" and dismisses the security that showed up.

Some notes

-I have never commited any crimes (unless you count using old roms/emulators)

-I am a health freak and do not even drink soda or coffee let alone drugs. I even refuse pain killers and most medicine (minus antibiotics).

-they think I am a criminal because of my huge size
(quite muscular) and hair style (bald or very long).
