People are saying that he was trapped in a parking garage, firing at police and saying he wanted to "kill white people and police" and that he had set IED's. I haven't heard any confirmation that he had actually set IED's, though. Someone said that police sharpshooters couldn't get a clear shot at him.

That said, is there a reason they didn't try to wait cordone the area and wait him out?

He just killed 5 cops and injured 7 more... At the time they thought multiple shooters. Mentioned having bombs everywhere- whether they found them or not doesn't matter. If a guys kills 5 cops and mentions having placed bombs you have to take him for his word.

What if they didn't kill him the way he did and he had a bomb strapped to him and somehow got in proximity and killed more.

I have no problem how they take cRe of a guy who is responsible for more lost of life of officials since 9/11.

once you open fire at police and kill I honestly think "civil" goes out the window and it becomes by any means necessary (assuming innocent lives are not at risk- of course)

Maybe I am wrong, but if they waited him out and we lost 2 more lives people would ask why they didn't use another mean. "Police have robots that can detonate bombs, couldn't they have used that versus waiting?"

Dammed if you do dammed if you don't.
