"This whole thing is a delemma because the police know that and I guess that’s why they forced the people to exit their homes. I don’t like the way they forced them out, with their hands up, etc. It just didn’t look right." I agree, Potlatch. This was a close thing. Some urgency, hot pursuit, dangerous prey, etc. But forcing people out of their homes at gunpoint doesn't sit right. TC

Thanks, it’s always nice to have an ‘agreeing’ reply.

The cops did that at Columbine ~ apparently there's this idea that a terrorist might try 'scaping with the vics, and try to hide who he is, but keep his hand on his gun, so have everybody raise their hands in the air and you know that's not him.

Otherwise you turn yourself into a target person.
