More seriously hurt? The victims suspected they were to be killed. How much more seriously hurt can they get?

Dead victims can't sue the police department. If the police advocate fighting back and a sheeple dies then his family can sue.

It's all risk management.

The cops actually love it when a homeowner kills a perp(in his house so castle laws apply). No trial, a little paperwork and it's over.

I knew reason would arrive. Thank You.

They can’t sue after the fact. A comment made prior to the incident could have impact on the case. Afterwards, that simply isn’t so.

The office’s admonissions after the fact here were stupid.
