Tough call ! But there's a kernel of fact in this tale anyone calling for police assistance in an armed confrontation situation needs to know. Responding officers are already "amped up" with an active-shooter call. Callers need to keep 911 on the line and advised of their location in the structure or conflict area.
Hard for cops in contact to discern the "good from the bad" in a lot of situations where adrenaline, darkness, confinement and limited sight lines prevail. Innocents need to give themselves the best chance of survival they can. Obeying instructions promptly is one. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
