"We appreciate all the hard work you've done, the dedicated hours you have worked, and the lives you have saved. However, since this is your third time being late to work, we are terminating your employment here."
1. Being shot at while working at a well known downtown tourist attraction.
2. Coming to the realization that I live in a city where it can rain for 25+ days.
3. 10 years of marriage
Being in your POV with your family, and the two persons in the vehicle following you were the same two you helped arrest and escort them to the county jail.
You turn this way and that and they are still in your rear view mirror. It helps to know the streets in your jurisdiction!
Your wife finally asks why did we pass our home and you tell her you are being followed. She is now scared and you are more frightened because she and your four children could be in peril.
You signal to a passing county mountie and they stop the other vehicle.
You, quite shaken, take your family home and then go to the station and file a report.
Their bond is revoked and you have learned a valuable lesson. You relied on your training and those things taught to you by people who are a whole lot smarter than you.
Enjoy the day,

No firearms but several baseball bats. I hated to carry an off-duty sidearm, that changed after that.
Another element to add to the mix, how would you keep your family out of harm's way should you, as a last restort, employ hour sidearm. I can see using an empty automobile as a barrier but not one with innocent occupants.
All of this was in the pre-cell phone era.

I can't think of anything else you could have done. I know that you would never let them pull along side of your vehicle because they could of had firearms. The priority is always protecting human life, especially loved ones. That is exactly what you did. If it happened to you today, even with a firearm for protection, engaging the perpetrators is something that you must not do for reasons alluded to by you above. Better to keep moving until help is available, even if you have to use your vehicle to ram them out of your way.

I was doing an internal of a business around 0200 because I found a door unlocked and I walked in an unlocked office and found the owner of the business having...relations...with a definite prostitute.
It was not a pretty sight.
That's not the scariest moment, but it's a recent one and that image will be burned into my mind for awhile. Naaaaasty!
My scariest moment was when some stuff went down on a shift and my boss told me I was looking at time in a Federal Prison and the FBI, USCG, NCIS and some other services were investigating my actions...
Of course this apparently was before they checked with any law enforcement agency.
Got a call the next day "...Hey, we called the Police, there is no investigation."
thanks asshats.
Chalk one up for the WWMP!
"Alright guys listen up, ya'll have probably heard this before, Jackson vs. Securiplex corporation; I am a private security officer, I have no State or governmental authority. I stand as an ordinary citizen. I have no right to; detain, interrogate or otherwise interfere with your personal property-... basically all that means is I'm a cop."-Officer Ernie

Imagine the "welcome" you may have received at the prison when the inmates learned you were x-s/o!

If you were being investigated, rest assured, your boss probally would of joined you for compromising any investigation they tried to conduct by blabbing.

Cell mates. That way you could "review" the matter with your "superior."
