Yeah, the police officer should really be facing some sort of punishment as well. They were responding to what they thought was a hostage situation, and shot the first person to walk out of the house. Even if it was a real hostage situation, why assume the first person out is the hostage taker, and not a hostage?
- jacobush 7y agoAlso, must you always shoot the hostage taker at first sight? 1) if possible, shouldn't the court mete out the death sentence, instead of Judge Dredd, I mean, the police. 2) even from a completely tactical viewpoint, if you are dealing with more than one hostage taker, and you shot one of them, wouldn't you suspect the remaining hostage takers could get a little spooked?
- c0nducktr 7y agoYeah, pretty much every part of this was mishandled. With all the blame being placed on the person who placed the call, I don't have any faith that this same situation won't be repeated in the future either.
