Thread: Police Fire..... Bystander Safety?

OK, here I go! Many years ago I Was in AOS and the general rule was to shoot to prevent further action from the offender. Second point is that invariably the public will rush to noise and in shooting situations there is obviously real danger. I suggest we think carefully about the unenviable position law enforcers can sometimes be in; I have nearly sh*t myself on more than one occasion. In a similar post yonks ago I suggested people read ‘Bad Blood’ the story of Stan Graham who was shot by Police near Hokitika in the old days. The young cop who shot him was pilloried by both his mates and the public.
