Do you believe bystanders have a responsibility to intervene when there is trouble?

The only people responsible to intervene when there is trouble are undercover law enforcement, or any law enforcement officer.
Any Bystander whom intervenes when there is trouble is doing so at there own risk.
The question here is what is your definition of the word trouble?
I like to bring up a situation: A male is hitting a woman, another male intervenes to protect her, the male whom is hitting the woman pulls out a gun from his hip, and points at the bystander and takes a shot at him killing the bystander.
Another situation, a man is having a heart attack, the bystander is a doctor and intervenes to save the victims life.
So that is depending on the bystanders choice to act, but they are not responsible.
