No, I don't. Why would I get the benefit of the doubt? I have an honest face?
Anyone here can come up with a "yeah but what if this happens" rebuttal, for either side of the argument
You have to consider the facts that will not change, not the variables you wish to argue. Here's some facts:
1) The cops and you are in a stress situation and they are trained, and you...might be trained
2) the cops have a fair chance of knowing what's happening. They have radios and communicate
3) you only know what you see
4) the cops will NOT recognize you
5) you don't know if more cops are coming, or if more bad guys are coming, and where they will show up
6) the cops know damn sure they didn't call you
7) there is no "good guy" uniform other than a Policeman's uniform
In my opinion, stacking this deck against my odds for survival this badly is dumb. Also don't forget that the potential for swooping in like a hero, unannounced and unknown to anyone, could get somebody- maybe the 'wrong' somebody- killed. The possible outcomes are not restricted to "help, or do nothing". Some of the outcomes are quite tragic. Your distraction might get a cop killed
