I think the point is that they should be legally required to intervene when a crime being committed but currently are not.

The problem is that they're equally as likely to be crucified if they jump in, and do a dumb thing and accidentally kill someone when others think that it was avoidable. There are just as many people crying "why didn't they just shoot the shooter in the leg to incapacitate him".

I'd rather someone be crucified for fucking up than for not doing anything at all, in this instance. Time is a massive factor in these situations, and time was massively wasted.

The "someone" might have a little more skin in the game than you do, though.

Then - again - that "someone" shouldn't have taken the job if they weren't prepared for the risks.

First responders don’t, and never have, taken on unlimited risk, they take on calculated risks.
