I cant help but wonder if the trigger happy meat heads hadnt of been 70+ deep chasing the robbers into bumper to bumper traffic if the innocent deaths wouldnt have happened...

Why are you being so defensive for others obvious negligence? Your not going to change the minds of the majority, we saw what we saw....

All debate aside, if you want to be more informed in these situations.
Once a YT video is posted you can "rip it" or download it into your computer via any "free YT downloader".

Once you have a copy of a video you can view it a frame at a time in a much larger format.

A lot becomes obvious at that point.

I think that is why many are skipping right past the who done it debate..

So if a car is full of innocent folks you call it the car you are using and no longer the people inside it?

You don't have a valid argument there...

He really is not. He is just creating healthy debate which draws out constructive conversation.

It's not like most here that can't hold decent conversation without name calling and the rest the garbage that often fills pages of these forums.

I am drawing a distinction between a person as a shield and a person in a vehicle being used as cover. There is a difference. Granted, I don't like either one. I can see myself reflexively using the occupied car. I would never use a person as cover and it's not because they make lousy cover.

Paul, the car used for cover was occupied by innocent citizens. You are essentially drawing fire at innocents.

I get it being reflexive. I wont claim I wouldnt of done the same.

It is horrible looking, regardless.

Cops should have never blocked that intersection and used the civilians to make a barricade and once involved in the fight they should have never used a civilian as cover.

I've seen cops block cross traffic for perps to continue through an intersection unheeded by cross traffic and then stop them where things are less likely to involve citizens that's what should have happened here.

There was a bank robbery here local and they let the perps go on down the highway unheeded until they could catch them is a much less populated area, they even blocked on ramps to keep traffic off of the highway. They did a great job an only the perps died when they crashed their vehicle and decided to go out in a blaze of glory.

There's a whole lot of fuqking up in this chase and it's going to get expensive for sure.


It obviously didn't work out this way, but what if the robbers, in the face of overwhelming force, surrendered rather than opened fire at that point. Would we be criticizing the decision to block the intersection?


Yes, dumb move all the way around.

Jeff, I am encouraged to see you look at it that way. That's really all it is. It's just a horrible outcome to what I see as a no-win situation.

In exploring this with you, we did find common ground. There were an unmanageable number of officers involved. That is going to come up in the incident review. I still don't know what I would do if I were the one person calling all the enforcement shots in this scenario. I do know this. No matter what plan I enacted there's be an internet full of people criticizing me. I also know that no plan would guarantee no collateral loss of life.

There may be a difference in your mind but the concept will not be shared by many..

I guess you could say I am being defensive. I tend to do that when people will criticize others having never walked in their shoes and will do so without being able to lay out a course of action that would guarantee better results. The outcome was horrible. Do you know that it could have been much worse had other courses of action been taken?

The "unmanageable number of officers involved" is key.

But even if that had not been allowed to happen and a single qualified incident commander was running the show with a manageable number of officers there was not enough time when that light changed to red and everyone piled up on each other to have changed the course of events....

Unless a allowable distance to follow had been established.
A distance that the bad guys felt no need to protect themselves from.
A distance where they no longer felt the need to fire upon their pursuers.

The chase lasted 20 to 30 minutes, there was plenty of time to figure that out.

Establishing that single thing could have changed the outcome of this event drastically.

Good cops are taught not to be reflexive, they are taught to follow training. Reflexes are not always correct.

Fact of the matter is the cops hide behind a civilian for cover and used them as a shield for a clusterfuqk they primarily caused.

There are better ways to do this that have been tried and proven to work. It's going to cost them big on this one.

I'm usually the one getting chewed on for sticking up for the cops but their is nothing that was done right here.

That's the answer, sue everybody and make it right. That sure will cost the cops involved because they will have to pay out of their own pockets. They might even get STARMAN to do the paperwork.

What I witnessed on several videos was akin to watching a feeding frenzy of sharks.

If this is the best law enforcement has to offer the public,then they have failed miserably.

Paul, don't take this the wrong way, it's not a comment on your posts. You hit the nail on the head in the post I quoted though.



That scene was from 1979-80. One would think the authorities might have learned by now.

It never ceases to amaze me why so many LE resources must show up for every incident, no matter the size. The perception that overwhelming force will rule the day?





Sad day all around.
