By now, we have seen video of the SWAT going in and taking the wacko out... 3 people dead... one of which was the wacko.

What amazes me is that they have video of this guy inside the shop and he is clearly visible through the window.

Why they didn't take him out with a sniper's bullet, instead of a frontal assault with flash-bangs and guns blazing, just puzzles me.

He was using hostages as shields, but the pic above shows the perp in the headband.

I guess they had their reasons, but this armchair quarterback is perplexed.  I guess they didn't have confidence the guy in the headband was actually the perp, I dunno.

The hero... dead hero, Tori Johnson... the chocolate shop employee that died trying to wrestle the weapon out of the perp's hands.

I just read where shots taken through glass have a low probability of success. I guess this is why they didn't try to take the wacko out.

Sure puts a tick mark on the side of being able to carry.
