There are many ‘public safety’ workers who do their very best in attempting to make quick decisions/judgements. Perhaps they should work in a ‘buddy’ system - where calls are monitored by another opinion; someone who can summon help rather than ask questions.
The Josh Powell situation was originally mishandled by the custody judge who should have insisted that visitations be in a neutral, public playground/restaurant or childcare center. As a ‘person of interest’ in his wife’s murder - Josh Powell’s name should have been on 911’s radar.
The woman assigned to the visitation supervision showed good judgement, reflexes and courage. She is just one more victim of Josh Powell’s evil.
She could very easily have been inside that house. I used to be her in a pervious career. Never again. That's a dangerous job. You never know what you'll be walking into. You're out there by yourself and are at the mercy of these freaks every day and night. I had my eyes opened about judges. I don't trust any of them further than I can throw them. I never saw one make an intelligent decision.
