- # 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.

- # The natural human reaction in a state of panic is to run away.
- # That's what I am trying to provoke.

- Or ATTACK! Aren't you putting yourself in a situation where you
- _expect_ the guy to move if you use some other command than
- "Freeze!"? If he runs away, as you hope, all is well. If he
- attacks you, you lose valuable reaction time.
