I've been full time LE for over 20 years, but I go to great lengths to not allow my job to cross over into my time with my family. Example: I make a point of staying out of my jurisdiction whenever I'm on my own time. That alone goes a long towards me not finding myself in a situation where I'd feel compelled to intervene. To me, it seems best to leave such matters to the guys who are on duty, in their jurisdiction, and in uniform.
