“...but the dispatch officer told him to put the gun down and wait for the police.”
“I can’t hear you very well. You say I should shoot the armed robber for the police?”
“No! I said to put the gun down and wait for the police!”
“You say I should gun him down? Thank you, but I’ll only do that if I have to!”
“No! I said to put the gun down and wait for the police!”
“I’m not going to shoot somebody just because you tell me to, unless I think he’s a threat to my life!”
“No! I said to put the gun down and wait for the police!”
“Here he comes now! I’ll fire a warning shot at the door to tell him to keep away, but I’m not going to shoot him just on your say-so!”
exactly right!!
