Recently started watching Alone, where they drop a bunch of people off in the wilderness, alone, to see how long they could last. First guy out was a cop. He saw a black bear and was convinced it was "stalking" him, bailed almost immediately.

The bear was like, sniffing at his tent or whatever, just regular curious bear stuff. He yelled and the bear ran off. But in his telling, it was "stalking" him. Like he was convinced that the bear was out to get *him,* personally.
Watching that gave me an understanding of how so many cops can see a person or a dog or whatever going about their business, and panicking and deciding that said person/dog is a *threat to the cop,* and opening fire.
Back to the show: Next guy out was a dude from Florida who didn't stop complaining about how he couldn't take his guns on the show because he "never left his house" without one. Heard some wolves on like Day 2 and called for evac, lol. Similar psychology.
He kept being like "this is terrifying, I'm completely defenseless" but he had knives, an axe, bear spray, flares, etc etc. Just scared shitless of everything without his guns lol
