did you read the thread title? i'll state it once more.

the police were not in pursuit of hostages.

how long did the chase last?
how many red-lights were blown by fleeing suspects?
did the chase even stay on the street?
was anyone aware that a hostage was taken inside the truck?


gotcha. when in doubt, just fire away - and don't forget to hide behind some civilian, so they might get shot, not you...

oh really? to me they didn't seem like genuine questions, but flimsy attempts to excuse law enforcement's behaviour. funny how that works, huh?
that said, i don't consider it necessary to jump through your hoops in order to point out the shocking incompetence and disregard for civilian life, and to consider people trying to excuse it despicable.

it's just odd to me that you can criticize the police, but not give 2 shits about the 2 men that forced everyone into the situation

Nobody was forced to slaughter a man. But force was used to enforce our system of haves and have nots, where property is more valuable than the lives of the lower classes. Serve and Protect the property of the upper classes. A thin blue line between the rich and the slaves.

you're kidding me, right? that the criminals are scumbags is a given - literally everyone agrees on that. i really didn't think it was necessary to state such obvious things. guess i was wrong.

"if" it was just a robbery without any injured at the store (someone was). it would have ended with 0 violence.

instead it was a 30 minute chase. stolen vehicle, dangerous driving including blowing red-lights at intersections and jumping curbs to get around traffic.
the only reason the suspects stopped was because they got blocked into traffic at an intersection. they would have continued a dangerous chase that could have ended in numerous more deaths.

and for the question i am a bit curious and waiting for info on.
did anyone even know a hostage was in the truck? my outlook will weigh heavily on this answer.

i thought it was obvious to ask standard questions before letting the news make your decision.
guess i was wrong

The chase was pointless. The trucks have GPS. The cops could have simply followed it without chasing and endangering human beings.

the trucks do have gps.

the drivers were not driving according to traffic law to flee the scene.
they were dangerous even if they didn't have a gun at this point in time.

who fired first? suspect or police?
