The only knee jerk I had from this last piece of tripe was the writer's standpoint that we are out there to thwart crime. I really hate that misconception. If any of us here told our issuing agency that or had it in our good cause we would have been denied. We know when to be a wittness and when to protect ourselves or others. I'm not going to draw and blow the kneecaps off a guy bolting out of the gas station with a case of beer.
We really are a selfish lot. We are in it for ourselves. We protect the self first.
