Again, why. Seemed like they had plenty of chances to stop this vehicle in less dangerous positions. But they waited until a ton of cars were around and then used innocent civilians as cover in a gunfight. And they killed the driver as he was trying to crawl away. I’m starting to think they’re training cops using Grand Theft Auto.Police killed a UPS driver and shot God only knows how many rounds with complete disregard to civilian traffic.
They’re taught to escalate, not de-escalate.Again, why. Seemed like they had plenty of chances to stop this vehicle in less dangerous positions.

guess they should have just let them go according to some?I’m confused as to why you are under the impression they stopped that vehicle or had tried to stop it in a “less dangerous place”
the ups truck got stuck in traffic it wasn’t stopped. Also these two guys had shot and killed someone and had a hostage in the vehicle with them..the police were in pursuit and when they got traffic jammed they started firing out of the sides of the truck during rush hour traffic. I live here and watched it unfold live, it’s terrible what happened to that ups driver but the cops literally had no other option when two men start firing guns on a crowded highway during a hostage situation.
Too many of these cops watched Dirty Harry and Lethal Weapon growing up and think that what they see on the screen is real police work.Again, why.

They ran into traffic after a lengthy high speed chase. Are you telling me UPS trucks don't have GPS on board to track their location?the bad guys shot at them after being stuck in traffic...what else would you have proposed they do to end the situation?
The armed criminals with the HOSTAGE went into traffic, police cant just stop chasing them and be like well we will look for them later...the thieves arent idiots, they likely wouldve killed the hostage and moved to another vehicle they hijacked...putting yet more in danger...that's just not practical or realistic....They ran into traffic after a lengthy high speed chase.

The high speed chase that endangered dozens of lives is the issue. You could have had 2 or 3 vehicles pursuing at while the other 40 or so vehicles could have been planning on the UPS truck to stop when it runs out of gas or stop when the thieves think they are out of sight and may actually leave the driver unharmed in their get away.
The gunmen could have killed the hostage, but then the cops wouldn’t have gotten their chance. How could they know the guy in the UPS uniform crawling on the ground wasn't a robber?The armed criminals with the HOSTAGE went into traffic, police cant just stop chasing them and be like well we will look for them later...the thieves arent idiots, they likely wouldve killed the hostage and moved to another vehicle they hijacked...putting yet more in danger...that's just not practical or realistic....
the problem with some of these posts is people get their police and legal training from tv shows and movies lol
