UK Police Advice on Firearms Attack: Run, Hide and Call 999
Well what else would the UK police tell the public to do in the face of an armed terrorist attack, other than run, hide and call 999 (the UK equivalent of 911)? I’m thinking, fight! To be fair, the policeman in the pre-film interview does mention fighting back and say “we would never criticize you for that” – as if criticism is the worst thing a Brit could face. Which it might be. Anyway, the problem in the main film is that . . .
“hide” is synonymous with “cower.” As we’ve discussed before, hiding is best thought of as planning an attack or ambush. You can fight a terrorist with whatever comes to hands, or your hands if needs be. The Land of Hope and Glory is more hope than glory these days, it seems. [h/t NJ]
