What, there wasn’t a family pet to shoot?
I just don’t get this bashing. They were trying to arrest a murder suspect. Are all the second guessers on FR now automatically down on swat teams? Sorta like muslim terrorist taking refuge in mosques and behing skirts so we can’t go after them. I’m sorry, you live with murdering scum you got to take the chance something bad may happen to your precious baby.
Remember, on the FBI's augmented collateral-damage scale the child is worth 10-more points towards promotion than a dog is worth.
