HOWEVER, cops are far more likely to shoot someone here in America than, say, Britain or Australia because cops have a valid reason to be far more paranoid than cops in other countries
If there is a person who wants to do harm to the cops, and that person lives in America, there is a very good chance they could have a gun. That is notably different than places like Britain
So yes our love of guns and gun culture DIRECTLY negatively influences how cops treat citizens here
