Cops are notorious pussies and scared of their own shadows. Police work is less dangerous than delivering pizzas in America but you don't see Domino's drivers strapped up with one hand on their gun when knocking on doors - yet police get away with this because in their mind everyone is a criminal out to get them, and not a member of their community that they swore to protect.
You're not wrong, but tons of pizza drivers are strapped, even when policy says they're not allowed to. Better to lose your job than lose your life.
Anecdote: I know a guy who delivers for donatos and in some areas, he actually has a plate carrier he wears in winter under a hoodie to deliver to some neighborhoods.
This came as a shock to me, as I used to cycle everywhere and at least one neighborhood he mentioned always seemed nice when I rode through.
