I'm a foster parent of, essentially, gang involved teenage boys.
I routinely deal with, three or four times a year at least, teenage kids who are angry, high and armed with, mostly, my kitchen knives, they're angry at me, the other kids in the house or someone out to get them at the front door, I don't have a gun or a bullet proof vest or a can of bear spray and I don't need any of that.

All you need is enough balls to keep talking to the kid, that's all. Cops have become adverse to getting their hands dirty or waiting situations out,they should probably not all have guns, it would make them better cops.
