- #IMHO, the best course of action is to leave a suspect a clear
- #possibility to escape. If I found somebody inside my flat, I'd
- #yell "GET OUT HERE OR I SHOOT YOU! OUT NOW!", instead of
- #"FREEZE!" or something similar.

- This isn't a bad idea if you are sure the person isn't armed and you're
- sure (for whatever reason) that they aren't likely to come back at a later
- date. I'd advise against ordering somebody that you suspect may be armed
- to move. By the time you figure out that the movement is grabbing their
- gun shooting you instead of running away it will be too late. Also true
- for a knife or club type weapon if they are close. (If they are in your
- house they are probably too close, unless you are behind cover.)
