There are few jobs where a person is placed in the face of danger or forced to make quick decisions regarding life and death as often as that of an NYPD officer. Pro-law enforcement clothing line Midnight Platoon has recently announced they are stepping up to help NYPD Sgt. Hugh Barry, with the launch of fund and awareness raising design entitled, "Within Dep't Guidelines". Sgt. Barry has been indicted despite using lethal force against an aggressive person armed with a baseball bat, something which is defined in the NYS Penal Law as a dangerous weapon. Barry used his firearm to defend himself as he believed he was going to suffer a serious physical injury or even death. The Penal Law does not address the mental condition of the person wielding the dangerous instrument. Danner was gripping a pair of scissors tightly when Barry first encountered her but opted not to use his firearm in an attempt to de-escalate the situation which became more volatile when Danner picked up a bat and swung it. A Taser, based on the force continuum, would not have been a feasible option because it is less than lethal and has less success when a subject's front is exposed.
