Tom Iron has a good point. Seems every picture shows some a bunch of cops with weapons cowering behind cars and trees.
Safety first, huh?
Really? What good is all that firepower when they just stand and watch while some armed maniac continues blowing peoples heads off?
I know several 70's, 80's and 90's action movies where the cops just go in to take out an armed maniac regardless of casualties. But to just stand and wait? They never learn their lesson.
They seem to have forgotten the 1993 massive bank shootout (I forget what place), but two seriously armed bank robbers just displayed 45 minutes of hell, and it took the cops awhile to realize that they need to let loose.
The Police Departments today need to reevaluate their tactics. They want to take an armed suspect alive? To hell with that, I say kill 'em all. The prison population in the USA is already over flowing.
