Let me +1 this here, I am seriously scared for my life whenever I interact
with law enforcement officers in the US, just from the fact that I know
they have to interact with armed people all the time and have to be
cautious that anyone they interact with has a decent likelyhood to be
armed.

If we can't go to Singapore because they happen to have anti-LGBT laws on
the books, then I suggest we do not have any further meetings in USA at
all, especially not states that have stand-your-ground laws on their
books.
As opposed to Singapore where anti-LGBT laws aren't really enforced, in
USA these kinds of laws seems to be on the rise instead of things getting
better.
