That's awful... but by your own description, the police were no better as first responders in this particular situation.

- robomartin 6y agoI think the mistake you are making is one of interpretation. In did not share this personal anecdote to make a qualitative claim. Not at all. How could I? Someone calls 911. Two people go to the address in question and somebody empties a clip into them before any contact takes place. If anything the message is: Do not send unarmed people because they could die. My perspective is admittedly simplistic: I have no problem with someone proposing to send folks without guns to try to deal with any random 911 call so long as it is THEIR skin in the game. It's easy to send others into potential life or death situation when there are not consequences whatsoever for the person making that decision. As I said in my post, and I'll repeat here, taking a weapons martial arts class is quite humbling in that you quickly realize just how dangerous encounters with someone intent on doing harm could be.
