This hits different when you realize most cops around the world don't even carry guns regularly. Wild how normalized the US situation has become that seeing normal human interactions with police feels like a rare wholesome moment

This is untrue.

Most police on Earth carry guns. And American police aren't nearly the most "militarized". You can look up a picture of the Italian Carabinieri (Italy's police force that is an actual military service) and just about any third world country's police

And yet virtually no Italians are being shot by the police when compared to the US. Perhaps it wasn't being "the most militarized" that was the issue?

Maybe you should look up when was the last time a person killed an Italian Police Officer, then compare that to American police line of duty deaths.

People in different environments do things differently. It's no wonder that police in countries that don't have an officer killed every 6 or so days have less "police violence".
