bklyn pete said:the only issue i have with what happened is that they ruined a perfectly good motorcycle. i'm sorry, i feel anyone dumb or brazen enough to threaten the life of another human being (holding someone hostage) deserves eveything he or she gets. here in the states if that happened, he would sue and get a big settlement to boot, is that right?

and think of the time we could save if we got rid of all the lawyers and judges, and police could just physically abuse suspects - who are only *technically* innocent until proven guilty, when we know they are all evil and guilty - on the spot.
you liberals are going to ruin everything this country is based on.

Sounds to me like good police work, or would you prefer that the suspect had been cornered by armed police and used his hand grenade in a crowd of innocent bystanders?
Blue Knight said:Some of your suggestions have merit. But please consider that small tracking devices, one that you could conceal on a bike, are not that readily available. Hostage takers don't have a lot of patience.
If the criminal realizes that he's being tricked, and don't forget he's still in possession of the grenade, he can take another hostage and this time he's real pissed...
Blue Knight said:Unorthodox police method? Maybe. But it was effective. No innocent people were injured or killed. Don't forget that in both our countries, this individual would have been shot dead by a tactical sniper.
