I think its fair to say some portion of police shooting unarmed victims is simply a mistake that might not have happened if guns were less common. I cant really say wht perportion it is but I suspect that is a very small part of the problem for several reasons.
1) Cops overwhelmingly support the 2A and generally claim they want to see citiizens armed. If they were scared for their life I doubt they would be saying this.
2) The overwhelming perportion of people who shoot cops are criminals who got their guns illegally, and as such would not have been prevented by gun laws (especially considering guns are easily manufactured in private workshops)
3) I doubt all those dogs they are shooting were because they thought they were hiding a gun
4) the overwhelming number of cops I have met who have demonstrated they are bad people (and the statistics such as them having huge perportions of spouse abuse) suggests to me the problem isnt the guns, its the cops.
