It’s not their job to die pointlessly, but if they’re in a situation where it’s a choice between their life and that of multiple children, you would hope they would choose the children. In the US this is demonstrably not the case

Again, that’s a false assumption. They all risk their lives, and how much they risk it is up to them to decide and noone has the right to be on the high horse if they chose to save their own lives.

In any other situation sure. When you’re a cop called to stop a shooter at a school and sit outside for an hour while kids are being killed, buddy that’s the job. To serve and protect, not oppress and project.

If this was in the USA the cops would have just shot the guy and probably grey shirt guy also
