They kept complaining that there were officers in front of a garage and that they were in danger of getting shot by the tactical team. They wanted all regular police officers to clear the scene and let the swat team get in since they had the “high power” weapons. See I wondered about that. Obviously rifle rounds go long distances and penetrate a lot. I would have figured some other type of round would have been used so that civilians wouldn’t get hit with fire coming through housing walls. ---

from officers i’ve known it is quite exciting to be in a situation where you get to take out your gun and unload without much consequence. in this case i’m sure there were a dozen or more officers who had never pulled their gun before and used it as an opportunity to blow off some rounds and get an adrenaline kick. It’s also a better story to tell your buddies. ---

Shooting down from a roof top also helps stop bullets from going through ten houses. It also gives better view into a boat on a trailer. ---

It’s also a better story to tell your buddies. There seemed to be some argument on the scanner after this went down of who was actually in charge because local police were turning on lights and planning a raid or some crap. FBI ended up taking control of the situation and bringing him out alive. ---

you guys do realize that police don’t need to VISUALLY see a weapon to shoot, right? This guy already killed (involved) one police officer, and wounded another… if they asked to see his hands, and he reached in his jacket… that is enough for a cop to shoot him. It takes less than a second for a bad guy to pull out a gun and shoot… so, don’t go saying they were just “blasting off rounds” at an unarmed suspect… LZ, I’m pretty sure I remember you being prior Military. You should know more than most people how stressful active shooter situations are… can’t be monday quarterbacking these officers/agents. ---
