Quit their jobs right there, leave the man and his wife alone, and find another line of work?
Because they sure as hell should stay out of police work.
Okay Finny, then you think officers should leave an armed man acting belligerent there and drive away.
If you happen to be a next door neighbor and this guy gets angry enough to fire off a few rounds as the police drive off, who is at fault if one of those rounds enters your home and your daughter head is splattered against her bedroom wall?
The officers cannot simply drive away.
They aren’t safe doing it, and the neighbors aren’t safe if they do it either.
