Yep, just like the autistic kid who sat perfectly still in the middle of the street while his psychiatric nurse tried to talk some sense in to the police. In that case the nurse was shot while he was laying on the ground obeying orders.
Unfortunately your approach doesn't always work either.
Is it too much to expect police to use the same kind of common sense and restraint every other firearm carrying individual is expected to have?
And the autistic kid survived. Which is the point I was trying to make.
If I go through the situations I have been going through “expecting” everyone to do the right thing, or the sensible thing, or the common sense thing, I would probably be DEAD.
People, and police, in these situations sometimes do not do the “right” thing, or the “sensible” thing, or the “common” sense thing. So I, and other survivors, do the thing that keeps us alive.
And as for the nurse, if I remember correctly, her trying to talk some sense into the police was at full volume and only made the situation worse, especially for her.
We should have an IQ test for police and some sort of way to screen out the adrenaline chasers. That would be racist, sexist, biased, take your choice though and not everyone would get to play.
So instead we have dead people... pretty much like every socialist policy we have ever tried.
