Tactics ,strategy and training failed. These officers apparently diden’t work and train together as a team. This will be investigated by tactical experts in the future.

Imagine eating a tv dinner while a sniper is set up in your living room
-
So this guy started shooting from an elevated position and was able to hold his ground, but then ran downstairs out into the front yard to NO cover to continue the shootout? Comeon man! That just doesn't make sense.

...they couldn't take him at the donut shop last week?...

You can always tell if suspect is notW You see victim blaming and excuse making for the suspect

Failed police tactics?

Prayers sent for the families and the injured.

Usual suspects doing the usual things.

They got him in the front yard and then proceeded to destroy the house? None of these news reports make sense.

Which is why warrants are normally served in the wee hours of the morning not at night or during the day to prevent stuff like this
-
The same chit happened in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. U.S. Military came as retaliation into them peoples homes and got ambushed.
-
This doesnt help with officer shortage
-
And all the tacticool couch potatoes are going to chime in about bad training. Anyone can be ambushed get real.

man stud on business

Fed. Marshall should be aware of the situation including the house being targeted. High ground(two story house) is definitely an advantage the purp. can use to his advantage.
-
If the cops knew the guy was wanted for gun violation way did they parochial
-
Police ambushed him and lost
-
condolences to the families of the fallen officers may you find strength in those that surround you and in time the ability to forgive

Cops make a need for cops

This Neighborhood would never be the same.
