Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

You want to be extremely careful when getting involved in other people's affairs. You are only getting one side of things, and she is probably not giving you the entire story.

However, when the cell phone video superstar was standing in the roadway blocking the ambulance crew from getting to the injured party, I was happy to escort him to the sidewalk.

It depends on the circumstances. For example, if police received a 911 call from a building and the doorman tried to block the officers' entry, he would be arrested for obstruction.
Contact your local police department and ask them.
I don't know. I'd guess yes for the city of NY, and probably for the rest of the state. NY dislikes armed citizens who can defend themselves.
