Equipment Policy & Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

Our current IT equipment policy offers developers a simple choice between a Mac or PC (usually Windows) laptop with a standard set of specs that optimizes for their daily development load. These are updated continually as new hardware is released and workload changes.In addition to that, developers can request for increased productivity, up to 2 large-screen monitors (most prefer Apple's 27-inch Thunderbolt displays or Dell's 30-inch ones), ergonomic keyboard/mouse and a mifi device. Customizations or other equipment like personal noise-canceling headphones can be requested if within a fixed budget, or with manager approval.We also allow hardware refreshes every 2 years (or earlier when needed), with a larger budget than those given to new hires.Most of our server development is actually done on EC2 dev machines, as can be seen here: How does Quora use EC2 instances for each engineer?Of course this policy has already changed over time and is subject to change in future.

Something like this did in fact happen, in 1997 during the North Hollywood Shootout. The officers had surrounded two bank robbers, but they were wearing body armor and wielding illegally-modified AK-pattern rifles, and pistol rounds from the officers’ sidearms weren’t doing anything. Officers turned to a nearby gun store, taking five AR-15 rifles to shoot back with, but by most accounts they were not familiar enough with the weapons to be effective (the rifles were very likely not zeroed either, not something you can do very well under fire), and it wasn’t until a SWAT unit arrived that the robbers were routed and eventually brought down.That shooting changed police tactics and equipment policies nationwide; there isn’t a police cruiser on US roads today that doesn’t have at least one AR-15 either between the front seats or in the trunk, if not both, and most patrol officers are now regularly trained in long gun use. However there have still been gunfights where the officer didn’t have the opportunity to arm up: Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job.In the scenario you describe, where an officer has a gunman’s attention but is pinned down and unable to engage, and you have a weapon, the skill to use it and a clear shot at the gunman without undue hazard to anyone between you and the shooter or beyond them, then I don’t think too many people, least of all the officer, would fault you for taking the shot rather than trying to give the weapon to the officer already under fire.However, you do have to consider all possibilities. When a gunman opened fire on police providing security for a Black Lives Matter march in Dallas in 2016, it was total chaos, and police spent the next few hours looking for anyone with a gun, including at least 30 people who had participated in the march while carrying rifles: Open carry creates confusion during Dallas police ambush, but supporters say law works. Had any of these protestors tried to shoot back at the gunman, it could have gotten really messy, with officers actively targeting anyone not in uniform with a weapon readied, drawing fire away from the actual gunman.Shootings are fast-paced, fluid situations in which not everyone, least of all the police, are going to know exactly what’s going on. They have qualified immunity in most of their actions taken in furtherance of their job duties; you do not. So generally, I recommend that you use the distraction of the officer engaging the gunman, when it exists, to get the hell out. However, this situation as stated is one of a very few scenarios in which going about your day with an AR-15 strapped to your back would pay dividends, and I cautiously support a decision to find cover and get a clean shot, as long as doing so presents as little risk as possible to you from either the gunman or any police on scene.
