In reply to the discussion: Dallas shooting: suspect killed by police wanted to 'kill white officers' [View all]christx30
(6,241 posts)42. And if the gunman had any desire to live,
he could have placed his gun on the ground and surrendered. He did not. He wanted to keep killing. At some point, people are responsible for what happens to themselves. If you want to live, don't shoot and kill cops. If you shoot and kill cops, give up when they return fire. If you don't give up, you are going to die. No one is obligated to die to make sure you get your day in court.

OP
So we should let one murderous asshole hold one or multiple city blocks hostage for how long again?

But he did continue to shoot at police, how many more should he be allowed to attempt to kill

You said to just let him keep trying to kill people until he runs out of ammunition

Again, NOT seeing any indications ( yet ) that police were in any danger.

There are some people who believe cops need to "take one (or a hundred) for the team"

Maybe get your ass down to the next active shooter situation and let him shoot at you
