Actually, I think he is quite calm, considering the situation. You have thousands of people whose lives are at risk and a lot of grandstanding reporters and experts spouting off 24/7 (including those of us here on this thread...LOL)

Imagine that you have the hardest, most nervewracking situation imaginable and you are constantly questioned and second-guessed.

At least he is still talking to the press. Myself, I would have been a lot nastier.

You're right. Can't imagine the pressure the police are under. We've all been under pressure, but it doesn't generally involve the risk of losing your life, the risk of being blamed for someone else losing their life, and microphones being thrust in our faces by nameless/brainless twinkies who are looking for their own publicity. Don't know exactly what happened with MD's local Channel 9, but if they're like the other nutworks (read networks), they've been over the top of inflaming the public.

Kitchen--heat. In or out. He's boiling over right now because he's not in control of anything right now.
