Another term for Body Alarm Response (BAR). It's a natural occurence during an adrenaline rush designed to help the body concentrate on important factors. Unfortunately, it can be deadly. We had an off-duty LEO get killed up here, officially due to this phenomenon. He had his weapon out, directed at a BG. When the uniforms came, he didn't "hear" them ordering him to drop his weapon. He turned to look at them (gross body movement - loss of fine motor skills), and ended up facing them with his gun pointed at them, so they shot him.
I heard thumping noises one windy night and investigated. I saw a man in a blue & white jacket so clearly I could have ID'd him, but it wasn't a man at all. The wind was thumping the screen door, and the blue &white "happy Holidays" flag was waving past the door. I darn near shot an innocent flag!
