“Why, if we feel anguish at the death of over 300 law enforcement officers in the attacks against America on September 11, 2001, do we seek actions in police officers that are less decisive and vigorous in dealing with locally threatening circumstances-thereby placing both the officer and the subject of the police response at much greater risk?”

“As will be discussed in detail below, it is my contention that such reluctance or delay will actually result in the risk of greater police force being used, because the officer who loses the initiative to an assaultive person will experience an instinctive urgency to "catch up" to protect them from the threat.”

“In the weeks following September 11, many in America participated in ceremonies to honor the heroism demonstrated by public safety personnel during and
after the attack. These individuals ran in the opposite direction from the people fleeing the World Trade Center buildings. They ran toward the threat, not from it, and, in doing so, gave their lives in the attempt to save the innocent victims.”
