I must say, I'm extremely disappointed that many of you with the means and skills to help others would choose not to do so. This is a HUGE problem in our society: "It's not happening to me, so it's not my problem, none of my business". How self-centered of you. Really. You don't have to be a cop to help your fellow man. You would really see a person with a gun in their face and just turn and walk away? "Better him than me."
Yes, I have FOUR times helped make arrests:
That any one of you would turn your backs on someone who is in danger is deplorable. I understand that the PRIMARY reason for carrying a handgun is for SELF defense. But as a member of our community, if you have a situation occur in front of you, and you have the means to do something about it and don't, that is just cowardly. THIS is why our society is in the sh!tter with crime running rampant, because no one is willing to step up and stop it when it's in front of them.
Shame on all of you who would do nothing, or who think "being a good witness" is somehow as good as helping keep someone from getting killed.
Yes, I have FOUR times helped make arrests:
- One was a homeless guy who started to fight with an officer as I was driving by; I got out and helped subdue the man, who was trying to bite and kick the officer.
- One was a shoplifter who ran from a cop, and I helped chase him down and hold him until other officers arrived.
- One was a bank robber who was unarmed being chased by the guard and 1 other citizen, so I joined in and helped hold the guy until officers arrived.
- One was an attempted beer skip that happened at a gas station while I was there; the guy started fighting with the clerks, so I grabbed the handcuffs that were in my car (I was a security officer at the time), helped subdue the man, and placed him in handcuffs.
