I realize that policy is policy, and those rules are in place to not jeopardize lives. But that being said...I like his spunk! Too bad he wasn’t allowed to carry a firearm... might could have ended it without a chase!
I'm not arguing with you because I understood your point. But the biggest failure of these type of policies occurred on 9/11/01. The airlines had always been operating under a 'just comply with the terrorists/hijackers' policy.
If we had the opposite policy in effect, sure some people would get hurt and/or killed as a result of their bravery but criminals would at least know- 'if I go out there and do something stupid, people are liable to jump on me and f--- me up'.
Maybe in the short-term, but over the long-haul, these policies endanger more lives, because it keeps these people free to commit the same crimes again.
