Which direction should our society's attitude lean for false positives: - a few dead innocent cops and some bad guys get away - a few dead innocent civilians and less bad guys get away To me it seems clear that the risk should lean towards officers, who chose to be in a dangerous profession, instead of random civilians who have no idea what is going on. Some bad guys getting away seems inconsequential compared to accidental death of innocents.
