Oh I don’t know...by waiting him out for maybe more than an hour without resorting to torching private property? I have seen the Dallas Swat do it time and time again. They wait sometimes for days! Many times when they finally go in, the suspect is dead from previous wounds or self inflicted ones.

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.
