Because you never have "accidental" shootings when there are no guns involved?

How do you tell the difference between the ones without guns? (And knives, other weapons, bare hands)

What situation can't you say that about? Should the cop handing you a city sticker ticket also have a gun drawn on you?

So you're clearing house as part of a warrant and you know what threats are in it? Police would love a psychic like you. Maybe we should let you go in first all the time.

If it was an option? And I didn't have to travel? And I could review the warrant application and just "go in first" for houses like this woman's, and Breonna Taylor's? Ok?

Being a police officer isn't close to one of the most dangerous jobs in America, but being in contact with an adversarial police officer is one of the most dangerous situations to be in. I'd be more afraid of the police, like many people.

You would have to go in for all of them because it's your job, not pick and choose.

"Being a police officer isn't close to one of the most dangerous jobs in America, but being in contact with an adversarial police officer is one of the most dangerous situations to be in."

This is a logical fallacy. It can be dangerous to be at the hands of an hostile officer, but then an equal comparison would be to say that being a police officer I'm the presence of an armed violent criminal is dangerous.

But like you said, being an officer is not the most dangerous profession. Just like being in the presence of a police officer is not that dangerous.

No, your statement is not equivalent to mine. George Floyd wasn't an "armed violent criminal". Neither was Eric Garner. Neither was Breonna Taylor. Neither was Daniel Shaver.
