Is it possible for this situation to have been pursued farther back with a trailing helicopter until the ups truck was clear of civilians?
NOPE, they appeared to have been stuck in traffic. hence why there were so many civilians. they would have had to literally let them go, like how they do in mexico.
Unless that UPS truck had hidden wings and jet engines they aren't getting away from helicopters.
The police chose poorly and innocent people got killed. This is probably going to be used as an example of how/when not to use force.
rediculous, the ups truck STOPPED. the cops would have had to sit around doing nothing and letting the criminals shoot at them. So actually, the cops would have had to turn around and tuck tail and run.
sorry you are completely right and i cant argue against that. the cops definitely should have cleared traffic for the criminals so that they could get to the outskirts of civilization and have a shootout. what the fuck were the cops even thinking having a car chase in the middle of rush hour traffic, what a bunch of idiots. they should all be fired. cancel the cops.Because of traffic and it was surrounded by civilians. It was irresponsible to approach and confront at that time unless the suspects were firing on random civilians. Especially while there was a hostage in the truck who was almost certain to be killed in a hail of police gunfire and that's what happened.

Is it Ok for criminals to rob a jewelry store at gunpoint during which an employee is seriously wounded?
Is it Ok for the criminals to then initiate a shootout with first responders and flee the scene to avoid arrest?
Is it Ok for said criminals to carjack a UPS driver who is just going about his day delivering toys for Christmas at gun point?
Is it Ok for the cops to take down armed and obviously dangerous criminals at the first opportunity, in real-time imperfect conditions that they didn’t choose?
Did you think about yours?Did you read your own post?

I'd rather have the cops run than have them use me for cover in a pointless shoot out that gets the hostage killed and me potentially riddled with bullets.
Well, they definitely tried. Should they try? Yes, its part of their job.So should the copy actually tried to save the life of the hostage at least or nah?

Itll vary from person to person. A big burly man, yes fight back. A little old grandma, completely helpless.If that's how they're going to make the attempt I think most people would opt to take their chances with the robbers.
