That's a fun thought experiment: imagine you're a police officer tasked with helping a woman being anonymously threatened.
I suppose for the police officer, solving the problem of "a stranger is making death threats" is to take a proactive defensive measure and arm yourself.

What if you were to imagine the advise from some sort of other professional? Maybe a social worker who helps victims of domestic violence ?
What other professionals would have good advice to offer the scientist ?

I did think it odd that the article mentioned the "go get a gun" response. Was the author's intention to drive home the point that the police were unhelpful ?
