According to DOJ studies, traffic stops are the number one cause of LEO death and major injury.
The vast majority of cops killed in traffic stops are hit by oncoming traffic...
Yeah, cop shootings during traffic stops in "Shall Issue" and "open carry" states is epidemic--in fact, the VA State Police have had the staggering number of FIVE officers shot and killed during traffic stops in the last 30 years...

Truth be told, an LEO has a higher chance of being killed while investigating a domestic disturbance, or by suicide, or a spouse, than by a lawfully-carrying permit holder.
In fact, according to the statistics, it is MORE likely that a cop will be killed
at the hands of another cop than by a lawfully-carrying permit holder during a traffic stop.
If this TX Senator wants to REALLY keep cops safe from gun violence, the FIRST thing she should do is take guns away from COPS...
The interesting thing about cops being shot during traffic stops is that it is MUCH more frequent in jurisdictions that have brutally oppressive "gun control" laws like CA, NY, MD, IL, and NJ than in any "Shall Issue" or "Constitutional Carry" state.
Just sayin'...
