So, when you say "society has changed", what you actually mean is that "cops are now far more paranoid, trigger-happy fuckers than before"?
The point that multiple people have made here, and which you so strongly seem to be ignoring/denying, is that society has hardly become more violent than it was 40 years ago. The only difference is that we have more news sources today who cover similar shit.
But by all means, be accepting about the fact that LEOs perceive so many threats that they will likely soon start hitting children who "escape" vehicles during the "search process".
