Personally, I think the cops look like idiots when they come on the way they do, armored vehicles, 50-100 armed black uniformed officers in masks, or when they do a traffic stop, three or four or more patrol cars appear, helicopters overhead, all for speeding?
Despite this, the guy barricades himself in the bathroom with his kids and makes threatening statements. He has a weapon. His wife is concerned enough to call the guys with the guns, the police. He just wanted them to go away? And if he harmed his wife and kids after that the police would be at fault. I think the family wants $
By the way, this department has been pretty patient with perps. I’ve seen them patiently wait for hours for some fool to exit his vehicle. Two days ago they stopped a car with four armed assailants wanted in a home invasion shooting and they got them all without shooting more than a tear gas grenade in the car. Yes, they shot a kid with an airsoft AK, but it would have fooled me too. But overall, they have been pretty good.
