How many drivers to police shoot every year for a routine traffic violation?

What percentage of stops end in a shooting when the only issue is a traffic violation?

I'm trying to understand the "presumption" that a normal traffic stop could easily end with a shooting by the police.  Does anyone accept that?  Does it happen even once a year in the entire country?

If you pull a gun on the cop, sure

I've heard the stories from ex husker players about growing up in Kansas City and traffic stops were much different for blacks than whites, but not that there were shootings

Normal traffic stop means just that, no gun, no threat, no knife, just a traffic stop.

I'd wager a small amount that we have zero shootings of that ilk in the entire country in a year.  In a decade.

Do share the nuances,you weren't running point for a Semi full of Coors were you?
No semis full of Coors.  We just did a lot of listening to and talking on the CB radio, back in those pre "cell"-phone days.
The car I was riding in had the worst-ever Chevy V8--the 307--and it threw a rod near Colby, Kansas.  We took an all-night bus trip to Denver to meet up with a fraternity brother.
I should have said Breckinridge rather than Boulder.  That was our ultimate destination.
Had a good time skiiing.  Took a bus back to Colby, then the re-engined Chevy back to Norman.

I've read of a few instances where the driver is legally carrying a firearm and he tells the cop.  Cop panics, gives the drive contradictory instructions like "put your hands on the steering wheel and don't move them" and "pull out your driver's license," and then shoots the driver when he fails to comply with one or the other.

Data collection of these kind of things is notoriously lacking

Lots of people work really hard to prevent it (anyone who's been to protests has seen people working hard at containing them), but group think is a thing, and large gatherings turning to riots (regardless the cause) is as common as cars burning after a city wins a sports championship. That's no reason to stop protesting, nor is it justification for the shitty acts people commit.
Don't you know, SF, that a riot is just democracy in action?  Storm the hill with pitchforks and torches, burn down Frankenstein's castle!
Yeah, groupthink is a problem.  People in a group will do things that they would never dream of doing solo.  That can be a good thing, but just as easily a bad one.

My general position is "I hate people" and 2020 has only served to strengthen that.

And I can assure you all, I certainly don't discriminate in that statement.  I hate ALL people, regardless of race, color, creed, nationality, gender, or orientation.

So I'm just a misanthrope, not a bigot.


Preach, utee!

I wonder if this is available?
