I saw this point being made yesterday. Good point.
A reply to this point was that if he was taken in a public place, his level of violence could have taken out civillians as well.
"If me and my family were at the Dairy Queen, then you better beleive I don't want him taken out there".
I don’t know any details about it, but kind of reminds me of Waco, where ATF wanted to stage a dramatic raid to arrest David Koresh & it ended up being a siege & a giant C.F.
