The field day for dead perps attorneys is possible I suppose but as to dead civies the Colubine, Colorado precedent should pretty much mandate a far more agressive attitude on dynamic entry to such a situation once hostages are being harmed. I expect an officer to go into harms way to protect children at the minimum.
I also expect an officer to have at his/her disposal the best available tools to do the job.
Stay well - Stay safe - stay armed - Yorktown

No argument here - I do however think a 72 year old retiree making such a comment is suspect at least.
