This sort of quandry is apparent in the military sometimes. In order to minimize casualties, excessive caution is exercised and the primary objective is not achieved. And it is all for nothing.

I'd have to say that aggressive action will achieve more decisive results, although it goes without saying that risk is involved. But perhaps police work is different.
