“As the old saying goes, When seconds count, the Police will be there in minutes.”
Touche. It does take us a few minutes to go on scene. Once there though we try to do our jobs. At least we do in the department I retired from. Did we make mistakes? Darned right we did, but we tried to learn from them so they wouldn’t be repeated.
A dear departed friend used to tell me ... "the only people that don't make mistakes are the people who don't do anything!"
I’m not sure what your post was about. I was referring to the fact that an Armed Citizen can defend himself when the Police aren’t around.
I hope you didn’t think my comment was disparaging brave Police Officers such as yourself.
