"...LEO can not be held responsible for failing to defend a citizen..." They used to be called Peace Officers. 'LEO' means Law Enforcement Officer. Ain't the same thing. Mind you, most of the cops I know wouldn't think twice before jumping in.
Personally, I just couldn't imagine not doing whatever I could to help somebody who need help. It's just not right. And CCW doesn't exist up here. Caught a couple of bozos stealing tires off a BMW one time. Got the tires back, reported it and went to testify9in the jacket, tie and tan trench coat. I looked like a wee fat hairy Kojak with a beard.) The twits were new at crime and got off with a conditional discharge(don't get caught again or else. No criminal record.). The arresting(at 0300 at daddy's house) cops said I should become a cop. Too old, short and fat says me.
Still, not doing anything is wrong. Even making the phone call is better than doing nothing.
