~ "Burglar shot when entering off-duty officer's home" ~

[Lmstncwby]

The officer was a better man than I. No way in hell would I administer CPR to someone who just broke into my home and threatened my and my family's safety.

The officer is trained to do this no matter the circumstances. This action also puts him firmly in the right if it goes before a Grand Jury or Internal Affairs. He was also the initial First Responder on scene, so.....

And if a civilian is ever involved in an SD shoot, when you make that 911 call, be sure to request an ambulance for your attacker...it does help tremendously if you have to go to Court.
