I'm not being the least bit comical. Off duty cops are citizens just
like the rest of us. They live by the same traffic laws, the same laws
about building, zoning, and paying taxes. So, they should live by the
same laws about dealing with muggers. What works for the rest of the
public should work for off duty cops. Do not resist, and do not fight
back. Cooperate quietly.


Wasn't an off duty cop involved in a mall shooting; earlier in the
thread, that prevented further carnage. Expect him to stand by in
silence?

Are you being funny? They have an Oath; on or off duty!

Authority doesn't end at shift change.

he's playing "devil's advocate".
On one hand,cops are civilians given greater authority while ON duty,but
OTOH,are no different than ODCs when OFF-duty.
Thus,if we ODCs are expected to forgo self-defense and comply with
robbers/rapists/criminals and rely on THEIR "goodwill",then off-duty police
should also *take their own advice* and submit to criminals.


ODC= Ordinary Decent Citizen
