Tough call ! But there's a kernel of fact in this tale anyone calling for police assistance in an armed confrontation situation needs to know. Responding officers are already "amped up" with an active-shooter call. Callers need to keep 911 on the line and advised of their location in the structure or conflict area.
Hard for cops in contact to discern the "good from the bad" in a lot of situations where adrenaline, darkness, confinement and limited sight lines prevail. Innocents need to give themselves the best chance of survival they can. Obeying instructions promptly is one. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
