@mrdeadleg Your poorly phrased hypothetical implies that APD would not have been able to take Mr. Lewis into custody without shooting him. I do not know you, but I know that you are smart enough to know that is not true.
@PicoPaco17 It’s still decent general advice. The truth is it is not that hard to outwork someone in your daily life.
No one is taking this as, “I can be a hall of fame QB like Tom cuz he said so.”
@FsharpAsharp An “ON-duty” security guard would mean nothing. No one is more entitled to defend themselves based on their job or whether or not they are on duty of that job. If anything, anyone who is employed in that capacity should be expected to deescalate based on training/experience.
