We face much more danger from the person that caused us to draw our gun than from the police. And I still maintain criminals don't work alone. There are probably people with him you don't even know about. If you don't see them yet, assume +1.
I have the impression that folks here really don't understand how chaotic these sorts of situations are.
I don't want to still be in the middle of sorting out the problem when the Police arrive. That's far too long. If we're at my house or some place these people have no right to be, either he - and his friends - have to leave. If I'm in a public place, I'm leaving. Otherwise known as escaping the problem.
No good can come from hanging around, and the likelihood of something bad taking place increases with each second. Have you even seen a criminal's family suddenly "show up" from out of the woodwork at the scene? Believe me, you don't want to be anywhere in the vicinity.
Rethink your premise, folks.
