Tactics are so much better today. Unfortunately, our society continues to spiral.
In the city I left to live in TV there was a controversial incident last year where a felon who had arrest warrants in connection with a shooting on a freeway was continually eluding law enforcement. He has holed up in his elderly mother’s home and she refused entry to the police serving the warrant. Consequently, they decided to make contact with him when he was out of the house. They approached him in a public place (a park) with many people around, including children, and a shoot out ensued and he took a married couple hostage and shot and killed one of them. It was poor decision-making/tactics all the way around and it cost innocent people their lives.
