Now, how many times did Dallas SWAT wait days when a cop involved in the siege had been shot and killed by the perp, there on the scene. Cops are a lot more patient when they have not been shot at by the perp, such as in a typical hostage situation.
What I demand is that our police act within the boundary of our laws and constitution at all times. That is all.
And I disagree that the cops failed in that regard here.
Why should it be any different of a response when a cop is murdered or joe blow citizen? Are cops more important than just us peons? Does the fact that a cop was murdered justify extra judicial actions? That is absurd.
I understand the human reaction that a cop might have in this circumstance, but they are suppose to be well trained and disciplined in the rules of law and procedures.
