...and they certainly proved to be during this horrible mass shooting. There are story after story of these people, who were guests at the concert helping in so many ways. Directing people out of harm’s way as best they could... attending to injured, etc.
i heard an interesting commentary on the radio pointing out that as much as 2/3 of all of these professionals are off duty at a time. His suggestion was they be insured and authorized to use their police powers off duty or not.
TBH, I’m surprised they’re not.
Our instincts when the chips are down tell us fight/flight/freeze. Cops can interrupt our instincts to freeze, which is what far too many people do, by taking charge.
What do you think?
