Terrorists and felons using human shields are considered by most here as out and out low life cowards.

but we have types on the CF [that have previously expressed] that collateral damage by LE gunfire
is quite acceptable when a perp starts shooting at a cop.

course if you as a good citizen were to defend yourself by unleashing a couple Glock mags and happen
to unitendededly kill a cop or two in crossfire, the LE fraternity would not be impressed.





You really haven't thought this through have you? The truck came to a stop in heavy traffic. The robbers started shooting indiscriminately. Drivers were stuck with nowhere to go. At this point what would you like for the cops to do? Go home? Not make use of available cover? Do their best to stay in open lanes for the shooters?

The cops were NOT using human shields. They were using the vehicles as cover.

If you aren't really goddam dumb, you sure did a good job of feigning it.
