What happened to negotiations between police and suspects?

[unblock]

56. lol. patients lie, 911 callers lie, everybody lies, or at least says things that aren't true.

that in no way gets a shooter off the hook.

anyone who shoots at another human being has the utmost responsibility to get it right. you don't take someone else's life because a stranger got it wrong.

in fact, the 911 caller might have gotten it right, maybe there was a real gun, but then he left, leaving nothing but ordinary shoppers, one of whom happened to be checking out toy guns.

the police, in particular, are paid to be experts at assessing threats, identifying real guns, etc.


something is seriously wrong with the picture if the only threat in the room is the police officer, and excuses are made that's it's somehow ok for the police officer to shoot and kill a complete innocent.
