The Dangers of Intervention: A Commentary by Evan Marshall

Evan Marshall is a retired Detroit PD police officer who spent 20 years going into harm’s way for total strangers. In his police service, Marshall worked on the street, as a homicide detective, and on the TAC unit. Outside of the law enforcement community, Marshall is known to most people as an author and firearms instructor.

Marshall wrote an editorial piece called “The Dangers of Intervention.” In this commentary he attempts to illustrate the very real dangers associated with intervening in situations you might observe. Marhsall’s observations about this deadly serious topic are blunt and accurate. Marshall’s article is well worth reading…twice.
