You've hit it right on the head, Rich. If the officers follow the training they have received for the past 30 years to contain and negotiate utilizing a tactical team they are called cowards and someone sues their butt off. If they go in to put an end to the violence they are called killers or John Waynes and they get their butt sued off. This is one of those situations where there is no way to win. Period. So you have to consider that whatever you do will be judged "wrong" by the media, lawyers, and big mouths, and put it out of your head. Then go do the right thing.
