I have been in two bank robbery situation. One was with a hostage and a gunman. I was able to talk to the criminal to release the hostage (old guy, was going to have heart failure or heat exhaustion) in exchange for me. After the hostage was let out of the car (surrounded by police, state highway, country and FBI) the criminal gave himself up and dropped the gun and got out of the car … I waved the FBI over and walked away. It’s a long story of how I because so close to the situation and was able to speak to the hostage and gunman.
In this situation there were 50 more Police all fixed on this one car with the criminal and hostage inside. If the bank robber would have pulled the trigger on the hostage or made an aggressive move a hale of bullets would have followed most likely kill both. The other fact that because the car was surrounded there would have been cross fire and friend fire injuries.
After view the crowbar shooting watching to first Officer fired five round and the second office delayed react with 4 more shot with the crinaml on the ground ..
Leads me to think that in situation like this and the bank robbery I was in, there should be primary shooters. One or two Officers as the primary shooters to take this guy down if required and the others as back up.
Anyone in law enforcement care to comment?
Is there a protocol … ?
