Why do law enforcement get so scared, when citizens have the threats against themselves?

Law enforcement officers are trained to be aware of potential threats and to take appropriate action to protect themselves and others. They are often called upon to respond to dangerous situations, such as those

involving weapons or individuals who may be violent or unpredictable. In such situations, officers must make quick decisions to protect themselves and others, and they may use force, including the use of handcuffs, to control the situation and neutralize any threats.

It's important to note that officers are human beings and can also experience fear in stressful situations. They may also be influenced by unconscious biases or stereotypes that can affect their perception of a situation, leading to a fear response. Additionally, officers are trained to be aware of the potential for violence and to take necessary precautions to protect themselves, which can make them appear to be scared. It's important to remember that the officers are professionals who are responsible for the safety of themselves and the public, and their reactions are based on their training, experience, and the context of the situation.
