NASHVILLE Whether you
NASHVILLE Whether you want to be or not. No cop starts out his or her day, saying I’m going to go be a hero today. No one wants to walk into an active shooter scene, walk past innocent victims lying in pools of blood, to track down a deranged killer and take them out. It isn’t what you want to do, It’s what you have to do. And you don’t have hours or minutes to think about it….you have milliseconds. Having the mindset that your only job is to stop that shooter from taking one more life even if it means losing your own in the process, is no doubt the single most difficult job facing cops today. And unfortunately, it’s becoming an everyday reality for hundreds of police officers around the country. Last month, in both Nashville and Louisville, that’s exactly what happened when officers didn’t wait, they acted. 66 The BLUES The BLUES 67 66 The BLUES The BLUES 67
