result #112133 - WOULD YOU RISK YOUR LIFE TO SAVE A POLICE OFFICER?

would you : WOULD YOU RISK YOUR LIFE TO SAVE A POLICE OFFICER?

[+] serious ballot by TinCan
created Fri Feb 09, 07

I got this idea from the TV show "Disorderly Conduct" (I think). It shows real life crime situations caught on tape. One of the things they showed was a police officer trying to arrest a large man. A struggle ensued and the suspect was able to get the police officer's gun. The suspect had the gun at the officer's head and tried to shoot, but it jammed. He was in the process of trying again when a male bystander ran over and wrestled the loaded gun from the suspect. Unfortunately even when the bystander the gun pointed at the suspect it was impossible for the officer to handcuff the suspect. He was high on crack. Then an obese woman came on the scene and basically dropped herself on the suspects back which made it impossible for the suspect to move.

Both of these innocent bystanders risked their lives or serious bodily injury to aid a police officer. Would you do the same?

Yes, I would	21
No, I would not	5

Voted : Yes, I would
BUT, it would totally depend on the situation, in that scenario i think the guy was a hero for saving the officer. If i felt safe enough to where i could save him or her without seriously endangering myself than i would. But i have 3 kids so i wouldn't go looking to be a hero...if i got the chance and i felt comfortable with the situation i sure would! 068

They get paid for the risk, I would leave behind a family with hardley nothing... Nope, sorry my life is important to other people other than myself.

^ plus, why do American's always have to be the big heros? It is so laughable... we protray that image in our movies, books, news, ect.

I think the African American guy who saved a guy that had a seizure on the subway was way cooler personally.

I would like to think that I would get involved, but when it really came down to it, I don't know how I would react.

Honestly though, if I didn't get involved and saw that person get shot, I think that would probably mess me up.

Probably through sheer force-of-habit.

I think it depends alot on the individual's character. Most criminal types would cheer on the suspect, and conversely, most honest people are likely to stand back and watch, skiddish of personal injury, probably wouldn't get involved. I'm inclined to think I might be of the latter, but my spirit would, at least, want to help the officer (or anyone else for that matter). I feel alot like Socal_Sweetie said.

What socal_sweetie said.

Whether they get paid for it or not is mute to me. They've saved my life a time or two, so the least I can do is return the favor if I'm able.

Even if they were doing a good service at the time, pigs do too much harm to society. The people who are tasked with violating our rights deserve nothing but scorn.
