There seems to be more and stories in the media nowadays where the general public don't want to help out a fellow human being when they are in trouble.IE." man has heart attack in busy st,shoppers walk by without offering assistance" or "woman sues good samaritan for giving her the kiss of life,paramedics say man saved womans life".
Scenario:You are taken hostage by crazed gunman,he has already shot two people and is threatning to shoot you.He has a gun pointed at your head and is holding you from behind.The armed police arrive on the scene and approach you and the hostage taker from the front.By now the gunman is sweating, ranting and shaking uncontrolably.The officers raise their firearms and the first shot from the officer hits you in the shoulder,this apparent well aimed shot puts the hostage taker off balance,he is then shot..you are free.
You spend six weeks in hostpital recovering,the officer is hailed a hero,and is telling the media his first shot was deliberate and aimed at you.
What do you do ?
Praise the officer for saving your life..
OR
Sue him and the Police Department for shooting you..
