And yes there is fear on our part...as I said, WE want to go home at the end of our shift safe. I have been trained how to maintain my selfcontrol when in fear for my life without severly hurting or killing anyone...I believe anyone can."
This is the kind of wisdom and thinking that needs to accompany any position of power and force. Thank you for your post.
