This video was purportedly shot in Baltimore. The question asked is...what would YOU do if caught in that situation?

First: Don't get "caught." If you want to stay out of trouble, stay out of places where trouble is happening.

Second: Situational awareness begins before you leave home. Starting your day by checking/watching the news is always a good tactic. Know what's happening in your world, your neighborhood and any place you plan to visit.

Third: It's especially essential to be aware of what's going on when traveling. For example, in Spain, make sure they aren't running the bulls on the street where you're planning to stroll. If you have no access to news, ask locals if there are places you should not go.

Fourth: Leave headphones at home. Stay off your phone. Pay attention to the look and sounds of the neighborhood. Are crowds celebrating or causing a disturbance? Is there an unusual police presence? Do the cops seem calm or on edge? Regular uniforms or riot gear?

Fifth: Every time you enter a new establishment, find the exits. Plan where you will go in an emergency. If violence erupts outside, get away from the windows. Don't hesitate or question yourself. Pay attention to directions from employees.

Sixth: Get to an interior safe place, whether it's behind an overturned table, counter or bar or even a back room. If there's an exit that will take you away from the disturbance, use it.

Know where you're going, stay aware of your surroundings and always have a plan for how you'll react if the unthinkable occurs.
