First off...I am NOT rushing to judgement ! I take exeption to your implication.
Second...I am asking where the justification of a childs death can be disregarded by Bratton. He seems to think that shooting back is the only option.
Third...I am NOT impuning the police officers on the scene....
Tough call every time and lot's of time to reflect.
Why could not the area have been evacuated and let him shoot up the place until out of ammo'.
Putting yourself in harms way is one thing....shooting back with 9mm hand guns and expecting to hit anything is questionable.
I shoot a lot....9mm mostly..I have 40 years experience ...my target average is good and tight grouped......but this was not a target range....
The commentary by Mr Bratton was cold hearted, if indeed the police did kill the child....I hope it was not a miss placed police round.
Why is it necessary to end the situation right now.....it was over two hours already...what's another few hours or so ?
Did you see the stand off of the guy sitting in the chair threatening to kill his self a few months ago?.....the sharp shooter took out his hand gun from his fingers.....
They could have called in someone with skill to defuse this person.....what this does in the long run is cause the next, and the next, and the next, to be slowly less important.
I can see a clinical disregard for all life emerging from continual shoot downs with disregard for innocent individuals......if not by the perpetrator then by the officials who try to minimize it.
