Yeah it would suck knowing your life could potentially end in a minute or 2 but I mean that's literally the dude's job and what he is trained for.



I agree and disagree. Yes, its his job to confront and stop the threat but at what cost? He didn't agree to the $25,000 a year job to be killed if necessary. Is the probability higher in that line of work? yes... But its not a requirement. There is no line in the job application that states you must take a bullet to save others. The officers life is just as important as any person that was out there. I am not saying what he did was right, but I will not be the one to judge him for it.
If the situation is too hot and more officers are needed, then it is what it is.
