I've done this US cops being trigger happy on here before.
IMHO it simply boils down to this: whatever your skin colour, if you resist arrest or are obstructive or uncooperative or frankly just a bit rude to the police in the USA, there is a very real possibility of death. End of.
Also Diana died because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt. There were other contributing factors, but ultimately if she'd had the common sense to wear a fucking seat belt she'd not have died. End of.
Wish You Were Here is better than Darkside. End of.

So in the "land of the free",
it is accepted that being a bit rude carries a risk of summary execution.

An armed society is a polite society
would work better if indeed America was polite.

Many of us prefer not to be hit, beaten, robbed, spat upon, etc.
If you never know who's packin', you tend to be a bit more cautious when you decide to be an ass. People die from a single punch, and I've got a family to support.

I don't think being armed is going to protect from a single punch.
Or from people being rude.
Especially if you are carrying a concealed weapon.
Carrying an automatic weapon across your chest will cause social interaction problems at a profound level.
Is that really your defence of the second amendment 'if I'm rude, I may be shot'?
I can think of many better ones. None that really work, obs, but it's your country not mine.

I don't trust random people not to shoot me by accident or otherwise.
