“...we’ve never told people, ‘Take action.’ [But] it’s a different…scenario”
Citizens in the nation’s capitol should be prepared to fight and try to “take the gunman out” should a Paris-style scenario unfold prior to police arriving, the city’s police chief has stated.
Speaking with 60 Minutes Sunday, Washington DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier urged residents to do what’s necessary to save lives in the event of a terror attack or mass shooting, whether it means “run, hide or fight.”
“If you’re in a position to try and take the gunman down, to take the gunman out, it’s the best option for saving lives before police can get there,” Lanier said.
While acknowledging her latest suggestion was “counterintuitive” to previous tactics police have advised, Lanier claimed “taking action” may be essential to prevent another massacre like the attack in Paris which left over 120 people dead.

sure she makes it next to impossible to get a permit to own a gun and now she says to fight back
ReplyDeleteShe issued 83 permits and rejected 800 applications last year. She must be speaking to those 83 and the thousands of thugs trolling the streets (and helping DC challenge Chicago as the murder capitol).
ReplyDeletehow? she banned guns and the supreme court had to step in. I say let the place burn as you got what you wished for.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!! take action against people with guns, but they want to ban guns from law abiding citizens again!! Liberal thinking.
