Many years ago, when there were riots in a suburb of Chicago, Mayor Daley (father of the current mayor) ordered some Chicago cops to go there to help out - but to leave their guns at home, and only take their billy clubs.

The cops refused, on the grounds that disarmed cops aren't cops at all . . . and if they're not cops, Daley couldn't order them.

That's the way I feel . . . if I were unarmed security or unarmed police or an unarmed sentry, I most emphatically would NOT go into harm's way or intervene in any incident where violence was likely; I would stay back - run like the devil if I felt I were in danger - and use my cell or radio to call for real cops.
