But the cops had to take these guys out for public safety.

Did you watch the video?

The cops were taking cover behind civilian vehicles. THAT HAD PEOPLE IN THEM! And shooting into another vehicle with a hostage inside, killing him and killing a motorist stranded in the line of fire. Over jewelry.

What a sh*t show.

I only saw a brief clip.

I don’t think police procedure requires them to be IN FRONT of the civilian vehicle with no cover as shots are being fired at them. I am sure we will find out.

It wasnt over jewelry, it was over two armed robbers. And taking cover behind a vehicle is bad, but the alternative is to step out and get gunned down. Then the bad guys can kill all they want, including those very people in the cars. Sometimes there’s no good alternative. Just bad Alternatives, and very bad alternatives

“The robbers led police on a wild chase for 23 miles, firing at police in pursuit before the truck became stuck in traffic and the criminals opened fire as police closed in....After running several red lights and making harrowing maneuvers in an attempt to escape, the truck became stuck in traffic on Miramar Parkway near Flamingo Road around 5.30pm.”

Don’t see how the cops were wrong on this one.

I watched the video. Cops blew it in multiple ways.
