There are people who do not get paid financially for the what they do.

• Police and Firefighters

• School Teachers

• Military

• Nurses

My thoughts

As a past Firefighter who's married to a teacher, thank you

I'd like to add this tho. As a firefighter, I knew from the start in 1978 there was no money to be made doing the job. in 78 I made about $10,000.00 For my wife which started near 25 years ago, even today she will say she does it for the kids.

It's still nice to see someone say thank you

As a former LEO Firearms Instructor I'd give her an A for her reaction to the situation. As far as the guy giving off bad vibes, any time you stop a person who is/could be in the country illegally they give off bad vibes. Even happens often with minorities who live here legally--they do not trust the police.

I watched the video several times. It looked like her reaction to remove herself from danger started as soon as his right hand made the fast movement with the handgun, just before he started firing. That is quite possibly what saved her life. She was standing in the right position (to the rear of the driver) and when she saw his hand come up she ducked and retreated.

The only thing she did that I might (emphasis on "might) find fault with was getting on the radio and calling out her shots fired call. In doing that she took at least one hand (and her attention) away from drawing her gun and taking her attention away from the bad guy.

I don't know what their department policy is, but speaking for myself, I probably would have used the gun first, radio second.

I couldn’t agree more, excellent observation. That would make an excellent training video for those coming up through the ranks.
