Comparing a $10/ hr security guard in a church with a police officer is not a fair comparison.
She was an ex cop.
And I know a few Security Guards that have had the integrity to immediately confront an armed individual-—sometimes without a weapon.
I was not in any way, shape, manner or form comparing the security guard to a police officer.
This thread and earlier posts to this thread remarks were made about why the police in Bombay did not return fire.
None of us know in advance how we would react to "coming under fire" be it civilian self defense, military or law enforcement.
The "security officer" at the New Life Church was armed. Fortunately his actions or lack of action did not cost innocent lives or injures.
A civilian with a CCP bailed his butt out.
