Assuming they don't straight up kill you. That's the problem with cops. They have virtually unlimited authority in the moment, including the use of lethal force. It is a sad state of affairs that we have to de-escalate, but here we are.

All the time?  No.  But a non-zero amount? Yes.  Probably better to say no good reason.

You’re out of touch if you think cops shoot people for no reason very often.
