A quiz for Police Officers:

“You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes
around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises
the knife, and charges.

You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have
mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?”

British POLICE OFFICER’S Answer:

” Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question!

Does the man look poor or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away?

What does my wife think?

What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of
his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it, am I using it in
an H&S approved fashion?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does
this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to
wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away
while he was stabbing me?

Should I call 999, would they just send me a taxi?

Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint
and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would
discourage such behaviour

If I raise my gun and he turns and runs away, Do I get blamed when he
falls over running away, knocks his head and kills himself?

Will the tax payer – or me- have to foot the bill for his claim if I injure him?

If I shoot him, and lose the court case. Does he have the opportunity
to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and the loss of my family
home?

Am I being culturally sensitive to the attacker if I shoot him, will I
be offending his family, ethnic background or religious group if I wound or kill him?

Will I have to defend myself in court as a racist if I shoot him? “
