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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
