What kind of retarded logic is this? The suspects ENGAGED THE OFFICERS. They could have given up instead they chose to shoot it out.
As soon as the UPS truck got into the crowded area they should have backed right off. What is the rush? Let buddy drive around till the police have the advantage. They seemed to wait till the worst time to actually engage. Where was the swat team during this whole thing? Get them in the area and try to get the UPS truck to an area where they have a tactical advantage. The problem is they were just reacting to what was going on immediately. Using fast thinking in a situation they should have been using slow thinking.

Cops back off and the guys shoot up a bunch of people and youd scream where were the cops. Fact is in a situation like this nothing is good enough for people like you because you want the cops to be wrong. Sad way to think really and a big part of why no one wants to be a cop anymore

FYI no they shouldnt have backed off

Right, which is why you're continuing to talk down to posters asking you for legitimate clarification and arguing back and forth while looking like an emotional, condescending basketcase. Never change

Weird that none of that has happened. Ive explain the reality of the situation numerous times and all i get is "the cops should have backed off" from people who know nothing of police work or protocol. If you cant handle truth without whining and not listening that is your fault not mine

Re read my post you quoted. I get it, totally unconventional, definitely not ready to mobilize as quickly as other units, but someone with a better presence of mind in the situation could have saved a life or 2 here with a better approach. Frankly, after watching the video the response could have resulted in a much larger loss of innocent life and they're lucky AF the death toll was only 2.

I don't want to armchair quarterback the entire situation because that's impossible but I also think you're wrong for saying there's no possible way you could have brought an APC into the equation to better engage the suspects at some point along the pursuit. You're saying it's unconventional but that's really just a poor scapegoat for not effectively problem solving in the thick of things to minimize loss of life or potential loss of life.

So what was this magical APC supposed to do in the middle of a traffic jam?

Somehow I doubt its protocol to engage in a shoot out with suspects in a crowded area. Especially when a hostage is involved.
If that is protocol hopefully they really look at what happened here and come up with a new protocol.

I just don't see any way to defend this. Cops shouldn't have opened fire there. It's not quite as bad as when they murdered that guy begging them not to shoot after playing a life or death game of Simon says in a hallway in Las Vegas but its still gonna come back on the department pretty hard.

In my job I have to defend some police officers in claims so I have a pretty good knowledge of what is and is not acceptable from a liability standpoint and the department is screwed on this one. They'll be paying out a lot of money to a lot of different people

Nothing like taking it to an idiotic extreme. The statement was cops were using pedestrians as shields

This is incorrect and you are an idiot for believing it

Pretty sure running on foot behind a civillian car then engaging the suspect wouldn't ever be an option in any scenario literally ever.... There's no way this is standard procedure ffs. "Oh yeah if there's heavy traffic, just get out of the squad car and use the traffic for cover!"

You're asking me to armchair quarterback the situation you can criticize me for armchair quarterbacking the situation.

You know exactly the utility an APC would provide if injected into this situation, firing from a position of cover that's not directing gunfire at or towards more civilians than necessary. Providing stopping power, if necessary vs. a truck.

So an active shooter in a crowded school and cops shouldnt engage because other kida are around so they just let the shooter keep going?

Background is important when considering to use deadly firce however when the suspects SHOT AT THE COPS, they became an imminent threat and cops were forced to engage. The SUSPECTS caused the civillians deaths, not the officers regardless of whose bullets caused their deaths. You simply want the cops to be at fault so you dont care the suspects caused it to happen by not simply giving up

Swat gets involved in hostage situations though dont they? I've seen enough police chases and typically once the chase is to dangerous to continue they back off. They have helicopters. Let the helicopters follow them around till it makes sense to re-engage. Also gives them a chance to come up with a real plan.

That's a total false equivalency my man.

In an active shooter situation at a school the suspects are not looking to retreat, they're looking to take as many lives as they can in the shortest amount of time possible, you have to engage in that situation regardless of the background like you say. This vehicle pursuit was not about the suspects taking lives as quickly as they could, it was about their own escape/retreat. This didn't have to become an active shooter situation right then and there, the poorly planned engagement made it so.

Hostage situations yes, pursuits no

Helicopters will follow for things such as DUIs and stolen cars. Where there is an imminent threat to life, like armed suspects with a hostage they dont track. Policies may have changed ive been retired for awhile from law enforcement

No the ups truck getting stuck in traffic and the suspects turning into active shooters is what caused it

There is no "best way" in police work because it happens so quickly. This is real life or death chit and sometimes it goes wrong but that doesnt make it wrong either
