EVERY traffic stop has the potential to turn ugly.
This is true, and IMHO, a very good reason to not do stops without knowing somebody is likely doing wrong.
and often the reason why deadly force is perceived to be the only option to ensure that the Officer gets home to their family at the end of their shift.
This statement is a major part of the problem. Why is it more important for the cop, compared to any other person, to get home safe?
And if a LEO stops you it is dangerous to assert your rights at the scene. But, it has been proven that a very small percentage of police abuse of power will be punished, even when reported. So every time a "law abiding citizen" accepts a abuse of his rights he gives a paranoid reinforcement that he is all powerful.
