Case 2. Most of you would do nothing.
2000 in New York. During a rally a group of young
men decided to start molesting women. The crowd
watched and did nothing. Some even cheered on the
young men. A woman reported it to a nearby
policeman. He did nothing.
It may sound noble on a forum to protect the woman.
Real life will be tougher than make belief. No one
knows what they'll do until it happens.
The Accused with Jodie Foster. The crowd did
nothing.

The truthful answer is yes, no.

The problem with this analogy is that the crowd does not have guns. In the hypothethical case described by Nielso we get to have a gun.
I know the police officer has a gun, but can he go againts 2000 people. 20 is easier to back off than 2000.
