YES YOU DO! That is exactly what first responders are for. Firefighters do it every year in our California wildfires. There's a recent fact-based movie called, "Only The Brave" about an entire elite crew being burned to death. An amazing action movie, but a real tear-jerker.
My doctrine:
A society that hesitates to defend its children is uncivilized.
There is no greater calling than to protect the truly innocent.
I'm outta here. I can't deal with people making excuses for policies, protocol, but most especially the Deputy Sheriffs who hid while hearing the gunshots. It's getting harder by the day to find real men willing to give their lives so others may live.
Officers are able to call in while responding. No one is making an excuse or delaying response. Show me where I wanted cops to hesitate. The first guy should have moved in as far as he could.
You are either obtuse or you don’t understand first responder technique at all/
Go to your room and with 100 times. I will let someone know my location as i respond to an emergency. Maybe it will c0me to you that getting cop trapped in a set up is not really what you want to do.
Excellent points all. Todays cops want to look and sound like commandos but stop short of being the real thing when they’re needed most.
Remember Columbine? Meter maids with machine guns.
