You're rather making my argument for me with this, I assume slightly hyperbolic, point.

Very prudent, I do the same in my private life.

See, I don't see extricating your wife and kids from a potentially violent situation, rather than making the situation violent myself, as cowardly in the least. It's been rather odd seeing the people on this board who are constantly calling on LEO's to exercise more restraint and engage in de-escalation react so strongly to the assertion that the unfortunate victim in this instance would most likely be alive if he had done exactly what they consistently clamor for.
