179. When you swear to become an officer you accept that your risk

Part of the job is, when needed, to put yourself between dangerous people and the citizens you serve.

It’s what you train for.

Nobody said he had to outright kill himself. But he was trained to go in and engage in this kind of event. Inside a building the rifle had no real advantage in firepower while he had the advantage of being trained to respond and use his firearm.

So yes, his job was to risk his life to stop the killing of others. And yes, the risk of death comes with that.

He should have quit the job long ago if he wasn’t willing to accept that risk.
