“There was no “public safety” issue when a person is completely held within a non-public home. Surround it and wait him out. Stupid cops! “
indeed. as long as there are no hostages, just cut off all public utilities and wait ... the perp will eventually come out ...A good friend of mine who just retired as deputy sheriff Sargent told me that was his and the department’s standard operating procedure ... it always works and no fuss, no muss too ...
