The nex time a perp is holding a baby as a shield I hope the cops get it right and only the perp dies. The first time is a tragedy, the second time it happens is incompetence. This one was the tragedy.
I'll be one of the last one to ever excuse police incompetence. If the circumstances dictate a situation where the child could be saved from any harm, then I'm with ya.
Boonie, considering your tagline I'd expect some better reasoning from you.
Maybe you should re-read your tagline and apply it to the standard you're holding the officers to.
