Come on, George. Of course the cops have concern for that. That's why they
often refrain from shooting someone. Keep in mind too....what if they don't
shoot the bad guy and he starts shooting the innocent people.

Keep in mind too...all these decisions happen in seconds. Hindsight is
always 20-20. Don't pick on the cops 'after the fact.' They did what they
thought was best at the time and reacted how they were trained to respond.

Funny how we are forgetting about the bad guy here and now pointing fingers
at the cops.
