I agree with all of that. Id rather be wounded during an attempt to free me then die at the hands of hostage takers.Originally Posted by Jamaica
Of course the police are only human, as is Putin and I would not wish to be the one having to make decisions in a crisis like this. But anyone who believes what happened was the only thing that could have happened is an unwilling student.
This siege ended in an uncontrolled mess, thats what happened. But it is possible that a better control on this situation, as far as was possible, may have ended it if not sooner, then certanly with at least a few less deaths.
