Back when I was “running toward the gunfire”, the city I worked for had an army of lawyers, a bazillion dollars of insurance and a legal responsibility to defend me criminally and civilly, because I had a sworn duty to get involved. I also usually had a reasonably good idea what was going on before I arrived. Today I have none of the above. Are there scenarios in which I would risk everything for a stranger? Sure, but there must be a lot more to the story in Oklahoma, because when I read the initial news reports my reaction was nope, not me.
