Bad neighborhood, nighttime, and it all went down in seconds. A tragedy to be sure. Second generation cop, too. His dad was on duty in a different precinct.
I'm just as sure the internet badazzes would be wetting their pants if they had to walk the block, let alone deal with something actually happening.
And BTW, ltppowell, in NYC, off duty cops have to carry, always. The beach and few other places the rule gets broken.
