Hostages taken in Sydney + bomb threat

whats the point of waiting for the inevitable in the case he did have bombs. what do you think waiting will do if he had bombs there. you think hes just gonna dis arm then while surrendering ? no hes not.

are you kidding me ? the police were too scared sif they want to take him alive rofl. the police went for the option which was the lowest risk for them where they wont be blamed for anything if it goes wrong since they got no balls. o lets wait for the guy to make the first move then we move in. thats the police response to this situation. if you are dealing with an armed man without reason what other option can there be besides shooting him or waiting for him to kill someone first which he did in this case

Attempting to kill the guy immediately is hyper aggressive and in most cases unnecessary. The news talks about a Hero, by your strategy they would talk about an apathetic police force that didn't use all their tools before bum rushing, and were monsters. You're saying by not applying their basic training they are incompetent in their job, which most likely would result in them losing their job anyway.

Also sniping, or these imaginary teams you have in mind don't work the way you think they do. Otherwise every hostage scenario would be fixed instantly by snipers, that really is not reflecting a realistic understanding of how that works. You're dealing with someone who is trigger happy, the polices job is to ensure everyone's safety, to ignore collateral damage for the greater means of saving as many as people as possible, disrespects everyone's life in that circumstance. It becomes a gamble of who survives and the police would probably lose a ridiculous amount of confidence from the community.

There are so many repercussions to your opinion and flat out ignoring any consideration to someone in that position that your opinion just leads to evidence of ignorance.
