She's white, so don't expect Obama to launch a federal investigation, and don't expect any looting either.

“To Protect And Serve”...

[gaijin]

Hey, just as long as the officers get to go home safely at the end of their shifts, right..?

[sargon]

Basically, if you're a hostage and are being used as a human shield, expect the police to completely disregard the situation, and fire as if you aren't even there.

So much for police taking any steps to protect the innocent.

But, hey, as long as they got their robbery suspect...

Unlike on TV, in the real world cops kill them all and let God sort it out.

[Drango]

SAD. I don’t expect police to be perfect, but this is...

well, it’s just sad.

At least the police were protecting her. And to paraphrase the badge lickers,”Somebody points a hostage at me and I will shoot her too.”

Harry Temple: All right, pop quiz. Airport, gunman with one hostage. He's using her for cover; he's almost to a plane. You're a hundred feet away... Jack?

Jack: Shoot the hostage.

Later in the movie...

Harry Temple: You shot me, I can't believe it. They're giving you a medal for shooting me, you little prick!

Jack: Harry... you TOLD me to.

[Crim]

Sad....but I figured that was the case already...I’m frankly shocked they admitted it...

[Usagi_yo]

We should start disarming some of the police and make it a privilege to carry and not SOP.

“police shot hostage 10 times”

This reminds me of Al Capp’s “Fearless Fosdick” cartoons.

Who gets to do the cop press conference?

[blueplum]

Very sad. Her 12yo daughter was waiting in the car in the parking lot for mom to come out of the bank.

2 other women were kidnapped and were thrown or escaped from the moving vehicle. They are recovering.

There were nineteen cops involved in the shooting; all are or were on admin leave. The car looked like Bonnie and Clyde's car when it was done.

The three perps took three hostages from the bank, shot the first hostage driver when she wasn't driving good enough for them and then kicked her out of the car all while firing an "AK47" type weapon at the following cops. They took police on an hour long chase through the central valley, shooting up the place as they went. Later they kicked out the second hostage. The car was finally cornered where the final shootout occurred.

All three perps were gang members(Norteno) with criminal records. Two of the cops go to our church; they tried to make the best of a very bad situation. The nineteen year old pulled the last hostage over him when the final shootout happened, she died and he lived. He's a coward, hiding behind a woman.

The cops are pretty sure these three had robbed this bank before. This was our bank branch and it is now closed permanently.
