911 Must Not Supercede Your Common Sense. Read about this poor advice. :: 08/05/2014
N.J. Logan was at home resting after a recent hip replacement surgery when she heard some noise coming from downstairs. Knowing that no one else was home and her husband was out, she grabbed her gun and made her way down the stairs while alerting the intruders that she was armed and dangerous to their health.
"When I called 911 she kept saying put the gun down. Put the gun down and I said I'll put the gun down when I see the police," NJ said.
Luckily, she didn't take the advice of the operator (who has obviously never had her home broken into while she was there). The intruders fled without Logan firing any shots and the police are still looking for them.
Same as with police and prosecutors making a decision on a deadly enforce encounter, They are/were not there, you are.
IMHO that operator should be fired.
