We're the Only Ones Uncaptivating Enough

Calif. Bank Robbery Hostage Killed by Police, Not Suspects... [More]
"Although we probably saved more lives and more hostages from being taken..."

Nice cynical, self-serving media absolution there, Stockton PD professional wormtongue Eric Jones.

So can we assume had that been your wife, instead of  suing you'd be offering public testimonials?

So... if the police kill an innocent, they "probably saved more lives", but when they go to the wrong place and let someone else murder people, then it probably didn't matter.

Got it. Win, win. either way.

A human shield is only effective if the people shooting at you are too squeamish to shoot her ten times.

Stockton cops don't have any major hang-ups about shooting citizens. It's not as if anybody will blame them for the death of somebody that they shot.

Right, they will 'look at their protocols'. Mere words fail.
