Well, reading through this was very interesting.
Frank, You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about cops in general. Yes, there are bad people, racists, murderers, etc. Not all people are like this. The things this man did were unspeakable. I agree that the cops should, doing their job, seek a peaceful outcome to the capture of this person. I also feel that if he resists in any way, with a weapon, he should go down. End of story.
Too many people seem to want to treat felons better than the rest of the public who do not commit crimes. Criminals are being let out too early, given sentences that are too easy. This does not deter them from doing it again.
