They do, as I was and am, but, in an apropo example, on Saturday morning two guys turned up on my doorstep to beat seven bells out of my foster son (which he probably deserved to some degree), I am very used to and calm headed in these situations, I have dealt with this kind of crap most of my working life, I kept them both out of my house, physically throwing one out as he was trying to throw a punch at me, all the while keeping a calm non threatening voice so the dude didn't decide to beat me instead. It was text book conflict res'.
Afterwards as I was trying to fill in the report for the cops I had no clue how long it went on for, when it started, what the guy looked like or what he was wearing for that matter, I was totally focused on his hands and eyes, I was none the less completely useless for an ID, hugely embarresing for me as I am supposed to be profesional, it just all caught me off guard and I went totally by instinct
