I have seen anger drive a response before. Hope that wasn’t the case and SOP was ignored for speed solution. Big difference IMO between active shooter in populated facility like a school , mall or sporting event versus barricaded possible hostage scenario. You know that I am sure.
Albeit I am happy that the killer is not a life long burden on the taxpayer I am saddened at the loss of good troops.
We can as always arm chair QB this event yet I know they weren’t dumb and hell bent on dying that day. Lessons learned the hard way !
Prayers for the LEO’s friends and families.....
I haven’t seen, or heard yet, exactly how the SWAT team was fired on. The 4 to 1 exchange sure is high.
At our station they have a clip-board on the wall that has cops killed in the line of duty. The 4 Oakland cops were on there this morning when I went to work. Every week there are new faces on the board. Told the boss it’s depressing enough to start the shift, makes it worse when you have to see the pictures of those poor guys every day.
