    Its not a binary choice and presenting it as such is manipulative. Those cops where there to do what?

    If it was to protect the populous then they failed miserably, shooting wildly into the public many times.

    If it was to save the girl then they failed completely when they murdered her.

    If it was to show everyone they are in control and had the situation in hand then they failed spectacularly when they made the whole situation into chaos.

    If it was to bring the father to justice for intending to kill his family then they failed tragically when they helped him out by killing his family for him.

    The idea that no matter what the cops do its the accused fault is so ass backwards to anyone outside of the USA. These chuckle fucks made a bad situation much worse while showing off their massive incompetence. Hell what would have happen if they all did not show up for work that day?

      I don’t disagree. It was a total failure on their part, but a situation like that one really had a very slim chance of success.

        Why did they attempt it then? I am sorry but poor choices in when to engage and how are still on the cops here.

        All they had to do was not be so trigger happy, people need to be held responsible for the bullets that are coming out of the firearm in their hands.
