Meantime, there is going to be some blowback and overreaction. Let's
hope it works out positively, and soon.

I think it is because they do not believe there can be a positive benefit from getting out of their car. They feel that the suspect might shoot them and that whatever they do may be reported as harassment. If the suspect does pull a gun and the police shoot, then they are likely to end up out of a job and indited for unreasonable force. So just stay in the car and drive on.

Except that hasn't happened, unless you know of a particular case. The
few who have found themselves out of a job seem to be fired for good
reasons.

I don't think they're intimidated at all. I think they're ****ed off
because they feel they're being picked on, and they're going to take
it out on everyone else.
