I must agree with you both but I obviously had no say in the sentencing process.
Here's one and not a victim but could have been:
On mobile patrol (alone) when I receive a radio message of a bank alarm only a minute or so away from my current location.
Activate the vehicles siren and get there rather promptly...run into the bank armed with nothing more than a 24" carbon baton and a pair of handcuffs and ask who and where said suspected villains are.
The response..."They ran out and headed that way, the one with the gun following the other""
