Guy runs they can just body him or slowly chase vehicle like always happens.

We know factually they do not engage with people using assault rifles so why do they have guns?

Not to mention very hard to dissappear with modern tech.
There is never an excuse for a cop to shoot someone running.

So why?

And guy in traffic stop having a gun doesn't justify cop having one.

2nd amendment nuts have this weird paradox where they gladly let cops infringe their right.
Are they dumb?

If guy pulls gun on cop giving him a ticket, like I said he won't get away. They would pit him and send helis after him.

Ketamine darts work on animals pretty well. Get the perp all high and happy, violent incidents go way down.

Serious answer: Because the general population has guns. How can a cop safely arrest a guy if the cop has a baton and the guy has a gun?

Easier to solve crimes and stuff. Just shoot someone and then the case is closed and they go on a paid vacation.

Honestly, this. There are more unregistered guns in the US than there are the entire population (I think there was a FBI report on that or something), so the odds they get a gun pulled them is at a higher rate than say places like other first world countries Europe or East Asian countries like Japan and Korea.

Just give them tanks. That way they can continue to be all fat but not have to run after people.

Makes a reference to one example and ignores everything else that contradicts it. Great post.

Get a warrant.
Go to home.

This happens all the time.

And with warrant can send special team that has guns. Regular cop needs 0 guns ever.

Also see other countries.
How do they do it?

It is like you guys think armed bank robbery don't happen outside USA.

Yet somehow other countries still are able to arrest such people.

Oh that is right you guys didn't think very hard....

Because all cops have guns now. De arm them and the cops who do this would have to be especially trained and scrutinized.

You know like the rest of the world were cops don't have guns

You sure? Because there was this guy in Colorado. Officer saw the SUV stopped on the side of the highway, so he went to make sure the driver was okay. The driver got out of his car holding a rifle, so the officer shot him and waited for backup. The officer probably would have died if he was unarmed.

https://kdvr.com/news/littleton-police-to-release-body-cam-video-from-officer-who-shot-driver/amp/

Or what about all of the incidents where officers actually do get shot while trying to do a traffic stop (there's 100's of incidents)

https://youtu.be/ZDOq6V0Fn4c

I'm all for having cops rely less on guns, but we need better gun control for that to happen.
