If you are not emotionally prepared for certain situations it is more likely to panic, like the cop shooting the guy for the seat belt violation or the last one. A "conditioned response" is not the answer as cops should not be at war with whoever they are dealing with.

Situations that police are often presented with-without warning and at any time-has to be difficult to deal with. I knew there was a problem 2 years ago though when 8 police showed up to a neoghbor's house in tactical body armor, packing all kinds of weapons, and approaching like they were clearing a house in Baghdad for a domestic dispute. 20 years ago, they would have showed up in my small town with 2 cops and knocked on the door. It's a different world.
