Depends on what the plan is. It looks more like a Leroy Jenkins ! Moment by the one guy. Leroy is lucky he didn’t catch some friendly fire.Originally Posted by runcible

Yes, that was the one, thank you.
Our first day of the academy, one of the guys from my department quit. He didn't like being yelled at and decided he wanted to be a teacher instead. My feeling was, better to figure that out now instead of on the street. Now I hear that some police academies in our state have stress cards, so the recruit can take a timeout if they feel the need to color or whatever. This kind of "training" leads to guys who run from gunfire instead of towards it. Maybe those two kids were looking for the coloring book and a little quiet time..
That looked to me like he had the suspect in sight, was returning fire, and stepped in to pull the hostage out. He looked pretty deliberate in his actions.
I hope the guy who was curled up in a ball by the window was off the team after this incident.

I'm wondering if any of our LE members have any inside scoop into this video. We have a suspect with a hostage inside a glass-fronted strip mall store with a hostage. Having an entry team walk up to the front door is pretty much #1 on my list of How Not To Eat This Shit Sandwich. Given the robot deployment, etc, it doesn't look like this was an in extremis hasty deployment that they had to do right when they hopped off the truck, so I'm curious what the thinking was.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
I don’t have any inside scoop but it looks like it was a hasty entry judging by the speed and gaps in the stack.

That would make sense. I wonder if he gave an ultimatum or started a countdown or something and they just had to execute.

Yes I think you’re right. No clue what it was but something spurred it.
