One big reason cops are smart asses today is because of constant exposure to shootings and since the 80s there are drugs where suspects DO NOT feel any pain when being shot with a taser or in extreme cases even bullets.
In extreme cases it takes several bullets to take a drug addict that is lashing on a cop and he still fights while on the ground.
Therefore it's hard to tell from the cops POV who is the crazed drug addict that will decide to take a swing at them VS your life as a private citizen.
