I work in safe houses now so thankfully it’s more of a safeguarding role than frontline protection. We have our moments but most of the work is done before we receive clients. A quieter life! I absolutely take on board what you say and with your experience, I wouldn’t argue with any of it. It...

No I’m not a doorman and I’ve never buggered off from a situation in my career . It’s not an option (well on some jobs it is), especially with the amount of time it takes your mob to rock up ;-) And I never claimed to be a copper. I work in protection and safeguarding (people not property) but...

Thank you for a reasoned response, rare on here these days. To be fair, I see both sides of this argument. and what I'm mainly saying is I wouldn't be in a position to call it cowardice unless I was part of the debrief and review or if I was on the scene at the time of the incident. Either way...

Just out of interest, and I know it’s only anecdotal but question to all the NSC members who have been caught up in a terrorist attack. What did you do and why did you come to that decision? Reckon it’d be good to hear from those on here that have actually been there.

Whether his actions were cowardly or sensible will be in contention for a long time to come. The result is it’s one less fatality. The justification for the decision lies with the people on the ground who made the dynamic risk assessment.

That seems an awfully low number for an NSC thread, are you sure? :lolol:
