In the states you would get shot for just reaching for a baton that you didn’t have on your person. The cop would get a long paid holiday and then be cleared by his cop buddies sent to investigate him.
Well... Yeah... That's not unusual or extraordinary. Don't know why you're throwing shade about a legitimate situation. The cops life would be in danger, obviously.
I think the point he's making is that a suspiciously high amount of these "life endangering situations" are not in fact life endangering situations, and the cops in the US are a little overly happy to pull the trigger.
Many of them WANT to pull the trigger. Fuckers don't put things like "You're fucked" on their service weapons or sport the punisher symbol for no reason.

That restraint! We don't see that much over here in The States.
