As I said repeatedly. I have been in a shootout. Short one and not explicitly targeted at me. But even if I had had a gun, I wouldn't have known where to turn to, since my body and mind, not properly trained, simply refused to work at normal capacity. I would be hard pressed to even give an account of what was happening.
Well yeh I've never been in a shooting and I imagine it's absolute chaos. That's why I found it really odd when Brian was presenting those 3.1% odds of something happening in a situation that's so chaotically variable I don't see how even the FBI could calculate that.
They weren't presented as odds anyway as I said.
People's reactions to stress are as variable as the shooting scenario itself.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
