Good thing they didnt hijack a full school bus and park in the middle of a parade.......
It's entirely possible that the cops would have used a different set of tactics in that situation.
Crazy, I know.
so now you're saying the police would have backed off and not chased the criminals into rush hour traffic if
it was a hostage situation with school kids? There was an alternative option in overtaking the criminals?
you have checkmated PB.
The cops were NOT using human shields. They were using the vehicles as cover.
If cops in a gunfight ever hid behind a baby in a pram , you would argue the 'technicality' they
didn't hide behind a child ..they only took cover behind a pram.
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. ...
LE could have swarmed/surrounded the UPS struck and brought it to a STOP with its large armada
of SUVs-/patrol vehicles on a more open stretch of road well before that traffic jam,...instead,
they followed at a safe distance and waited for a traffic jam full of captive innocents to engage
in an all- hell- break- loose gun battle.
