Leaving People Defenseless Doesn't Create Safety. Police respond to deadly stabbing spree at popular beach destination Dorset Police believe that the 17-year-old boy stabbed two women in Bournemouth https://lnkd.in/e3M3GP9D Nations with disarmed populations tragically aren't free from daily violent crime nor mass casualty events. I don't gloat over horrible situations like the news story above this post. I grieve. I grieve because violent egotists or even terrorists will use knives, vehicles, corrosive substances and anything else when denied legal (or easy illegal) access to ballistic weaponry. Western countries live in a more combative time now. Our public spaces, events and holidays are often targeted by aggressive, even homicidal, people than in tamer times. This mass casualty event happened at a beach destination, which presupposes attendees likely not having anything on their persons for self defense, especially in bathing suits. Less lethal options here like #pepperspray, #peppergel, #bearspray or non firearms projectile devices like the #Byrna are often illegal to citizens in disarmament mandating countries. Leaving people defenseless doesn't create Safety, it co-signs tragedy. #SafeFunByCap #safefuncreator #safefunescort #securityadvisor #eventsecurity #protectionprofessional #protector #securitytopicwriter

This intense footage shows just how quickly a situation can escalate. An armed robbery suspect resists arrest, fights officers, and even tries to take one officer's gun during the struggle. Thanks to the quick thinking, training, and teamwork of the officers, the suspect was unsuccessful in their attempt to disarm the officer. Moments like these remind us of the dangerous situations law enforcement faces daily, risking their lives to protect the community.
