So out of the millions of traffic stops performed by the police in this fashion, none of them have resulted in the officer being hurt, let alone killed? Yet you still think a change needs to be made? I'm all for being proactive but if nobody has even been injured by this it seems a bit excessive, no?
I'm making an assumption here but I'm pretty sure the officers are paying attention to whether or not the vehicle approaching them is slowly down sufficiently or if they are going to need to move out of the way, they aren't walking into the road and twiddling their thumbs and hoping for the best.
