It’s hard to tell if your chances of getting shot by the cops is part of the internet being an echo chamber or if it really is a thing we live with. Regardless, I avoid the interaction with law enforcement and bring the dog in if they happen to be combing the area. An American Bull Terrier on my street named Queenie actually got shot and survived.
When I was a teenager, a cop drawed on me and my friend. As I pulled into my friends driveway the cop turned on his lights and parked behind my car. Didn’t notice until we were getting out, so the cop drawed his pistol, pointed it at us and yelled for us to get back in the car (was “pulled over” for speeding).
I’ve also been woken up by police carrying AR-style rifles during a raid (not for me, for my previous roommate).
No, roommate was out on bail for a pretty serious crime. Detectives found out some stuff during investigation, so judge revoked bail, and gave police a no-knock warrant to retrieve him.

Hopefully you’ve made better friends. ✌️
