Is the Police Chief really encouraging an innocent bystander to engage an attacker or group of attackers? I'm 5'7", not trained in any martial arts or self-defence, not carrying a gun, and I'm supposed to break up an incident with one or more Delta Bravos?
I'm not sure what is a reasonable expectation from an average citizen encountering a violent situation. It certainly can't be for he or she to take them on physically.

Yeah, that was odd to hear, I know in Calgary 100% of the time I've heard Calgary police comment on citizens getting involved in any incidents/crimes it's been "Don't do it, call the police and we'll handle it. We don't want citizens putting themselves in danger", etc
