“There are no guarantees that the police will rescue you in an emergency like this one”
IIRC the Supreme Court ruled than a police officer has no duty to act to protect anyone in any specific life threatening situation....
I bet we have thousands of Scot Peterson’s in departments all across the country. They are unknown to us and hopefully it stays that way til they retire. Not everyone can run towards gunfire and danger. Our police departments aren’t looking for bravery as much as they are public relations. I hope more departments put an emphasis on bravery when they hire new police officers.
