It’s not a ridiculous concept, it’s one that’s been tried and failed. Do you want innocent people hurt, or do you want the guys wearing body armor and with guns to be the ones that (potentially) get hurt. The risk is generally a lot less for them to get hurt than civilians. Your point only makes sense if there was only the one person doing this, and even then it doesn’t matter. This was the safest alternative to what would have happened if this had been served elsewhere save for an empty field. Police tactics learn from mistakes (mostly because the FBI puts this all together and makes them learn it). Here’s what happened in 86 when the FBI tried to arrest two known felons in an open field: Link
Don’t act like a victim when you’re simply ignorant and should just listen first before speaking.
I was arguing that if the cops did it somewhere else, they wouldn’t have died. But apparently that’s too ridiculous a concept for most people.
