And that's exactly the psychological problem. It's legal to carry guns around and plenty of cops gets killed so when someone even resist a bit whether it's a suspect or the involved ones the cops will draw their guns/tasers out quickly without thinking straight whether that person can be a threat. It is also becoming an excuse for cops to use to suggest everyone can carry a knife/gun around so they must treat every situation the same which is get ready to pull the guns out just in case you could end up dead. In EU most cops don't react like that even though they never know if the people they are questioning could be hiding a knife inside their pockets they don't pull out their weapons out unless it's necessary. You can say it's better to listen to the cops and save yourself from being tased but if that woman doesn't understand any word of it she could be panicking wondering what the cops want from her. Did the employees even tell the cops she already bought 2 iPhones and doen't speak English? The cops overreacted here and have serious judgmental errors. Perhaps it's best to warn everybody before traveling to US that the police over there are extremely violent and it's better to do as they tell you to and if you don't speak English stick both hands out immediately let them handcuff you or else they will start to shoot because they are impatient and get nervous very quickly.
I feel you buddy.
In the U.S police are very different from the police in Europe.
Here police folks can and do die when they make simple traffic infraction stops.
This is real.
This is the land of guns. I know at least one person whose dad at one point owned a 50 caliber machine gun.
Go figure.
