70-year-old Richard Cutshaw was killed in the shootout. He was in his vehicle when the shooting started and from what I can hear in the video in Spanish, Cutshaw’s car just rolled into the vehicle with the guy recording the video.

Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.
Ya know- I luv how cops are converging on one spot and people just continue walkin la la la la TOWARD the cop convergence!!! Sad. Zero situational awareness.
Well, being that the cops were pretty much shooting indiscriminately in all directions, using citizens and their cars as shields and practicing rule 4 violations as though it were a good thing, it almost doesn’t matter, does it?
Personally, I’m wondering whether the training unit there is run by a former spetsnaz officer or a member of a terrorist cell. Because the “43 hostages, 7 bad guys, 50 body bags, problem solved” attitude the cops had certainly fits with spetsnaz, but the “using civilians as meat shields and spraying bullets indiscriminately while Allah’s will decides who lives and who dies” is more fitting for terror cell jihadis.
The Russian approach to hostage situation is to consider all hostages as dead. If anyone remains alive after the attack, is gravy.
Correct. Which is why I am beginning to think the PD’s and SO’s down there have a spetsnaz officer running the training units. UPS driver is a hostage? Bring an extra body bag. Bystander is hit, don’t worry, we have plenty of body bags. Plus, we have all these meat shields to keep us safe.
(Good news!! No police officers were hit or died in this incident!!) School shooting? Don’t worry we can go in when the shooter is out of ammo and bring plenty of body bags.
The police response to this is disgusting. They act like they did nothing wrong, and there was no other course of action to take. And we’re supposed to celebrate that no cops were injured or killed, when not one, but TWO innocent civilians where killed. Why don’t we just call in a drone strike, guys? No officers killed there, either, and maybe a innocent civilian or two gets taken out in the process. Same results, less risk to the thin blue line. It’s a win-win.
Damn.
