Despite having 30+ different police agencies, our nation's capital is still not very safe: One of the typical ploys in DC now is a snatch and grab -
You and your SO walk out of a club, play, movie etc, and then a man running down the sidewalk grabs her purse and continues to run away. Often the brave young boyfriend / fiancee / husband sensing that the running BG is physically smaller than him and without fighting skills, will chase the BG.
Only to run into a gang of 5 waiting for him as he rounds the corner, and they beat the %$&*%^&$^ out of our hero and take his wallet too. This just happened a couple of weeks ago to a friend - facial surgery was needed. So becareful out there ladies and gentlemen.
The scenario plays out - (Obviously you are not in DC, unless you are super special with your Federal CC) - You are walking in your town / city / village etc., when a running youth takes your SO's purse and continues to run around the corner - do you chase? do you draw and chase? do you call police on your cell? what do you do?
