It's pretty easy to look at this video and criticize this when in reality if anyone of us were there this situation wouldn't of ended up any better. Heat of the moment thing If only they were trained. To do what? Explain what you think the course of action should have been. Not shoot when the only view you have is of the hostage would be a pretty good place to start. I don't see why the only cop with a view shouldn't be the only one to pull the trigger. What were the other cops even trying to do? Curve their bullets? Okay, so we agree that shooting was the right call and that all these "should have backed off and gotten a negotiator, should have tried to reason with him, should have rushed him" points are bull shit. I think you're putting words in my mouth. The camera is absolutely not clear in what was happening when the dude held the knife up to his throat cause it was shaking even worse than a b-movie. The only thing that was clear was that he held it to her throat. I don't see where anyone is seeing the dude actually draw it across her throat. Unless anyone can post that part of the video slowed down, or any other statements saying that she was indeed actively having her throat slit at that exact moment, I don't see why there wasn't any room to back off and call for a negotiator. And even if she was actively having her throat slit, I don't understand why it was necessary for all but one of those cops to even pull the trigger anyways. The one with the cam was pretty much the only officer with a clear shot. The other cop that was there could see pretty much nothing but the hostage. I can understand why the cop with a clear view shot, but why did the other one? What was his objective, to kill the hostage himself and deprive the man with the knife the pleasure of doing it himself? --- Who is? I am! <cite>A_Good_Boy posted [p:906091393] in (Video) Po...
