SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A hostage kidnapped during a Northern California bank robbery was killed by police in an ensuing chase and shootout, likely during a final gunbattle where the lone surviving suspect used her as a human shield, authorities said Monday.
The results of a preliminary ballistics report show that police in the city of Stockton fired the 10 bullets that struck Misty Holt-Singh, 41, and all her wounds likely came during a final burst of gunfire, Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said at a news conference.

She's white, so don't expect Obama to launch a federal investigation, and don't expect any looting either.

Basically, if you're a hostage and are being used as a human shield, expect the police to completely disregard the situation, and fire as if you aren't even there.
So much for police taking any steps to protect the innocent.
But, hey, as long as they got their robbery suspect...

Unlike on TV, in the real world cops kill them all and let God sort it out.

SAD. I don’t expect police to be perfect, but this is... You know, one or two errant shots - I could see it.
They hosed her down. Might as well have had a belt-fed weapon.

At least the police were protecting her. And to paraphrase the badge lickers,”Somebody points a hostage at me and I will shoot her too.”

Martinez, 27, and Gilbert Renteria Jr., 30, were found dead at the end of the final gunbattle. Jaime Ramos, 19, the sole surviving suspect, has been charged with murder. pretty sure the perps were here doing the jobs Americans just won't do.....
