Your a trained officer, my training was even a little more extensive than a police officer, but that aside, what would you do? Lay there and be shot? I think not. Tc
In the military you are psyched up when out on patrol or a mission and are primed for action. In a civilian situation that's not the case.

No one, unless they have been in a critical situation knows how they will react and if they think they do they ain't got a clue. When the situation arises you are being tested and that's when you find out for sure.

Everyone says and hopes they would react positively and you know if you are in a situation like that laying down is the worst thing to do. It's movement and distance that will save your life. Most folks, even guys who consider themselves marksmen can't hit the broad side of a barn if the target is moving.

At any rate my point here is for the average human the typical first response is panic and and an inability to move or think or move the wrong way. No different than a herd of animals being chased by a big cat.
