Does being armed actually deter cops in Texas? In my home country being armed is more likely to alert cops
Yes, it deters the cops. You have to understand that many or most cops are paranoid, cowards, and bullies. They aren’t going around enforcing laws because they think that they need to uphold justice. Rather, they’re going around power tripping. And it’s not such a great power trip if you have to worry about getting shot because people think that you’re dirty.
Of course this is not true for all cops all the time, but it’s certainly true for many cops most of the time.
*American cops.
Everything you just said would not be true of, for example, Danish cops. Or French cops, for that matter.
A dozen armed people attract cops.
A couple hundred armed people repel cops.
