Ok this link refers to the post that was up here about the home invasion in CT where they forced the wife to go go the bank and take out 15k. I can't find the original post to add this to it so just started a new thread. Pretty interesting to see how it went once the bank alerted the police via 911.

This is one of the most horrible crimes and the perps should be held accountable not the cops. Take these two pieces of waste and throw them in gen pop.

Oh gawd that was horribly handled. Almost as bad as the Philippines Tour Bus hostage thingy a couple weeks ago.

When these guys get the chair they should allow the husband to pull the switch. I don't see how you can ever recover from that. I remember reading the original story on here. One of the worst I have ever read.

What a shame.....

 

I know that 30 minutes sounds like a long time....but when you are talking about preparing for the situation, notifying the proper people, and arriving to the scene....30 minutes can go by very quickly. I have the utmost respect for police officers, and I HIGHLY doubt that there are many PD's out there that would hear "Mrs. Johnson came in, withdrew $15k, said her whole family was being held hostage." and that the PD would actually "remain inactive". A situation as serious as this requires a lot of steps to be taken, you cant just have one officer show up and bust through the door.

these scumbags should be shot on live tv maybe that would deter these things from happening in the future.

I understand that 30 minutes isn't a lot of time, but so many things could have been prevented here too. State police could have been called, along with the FD and medical assistance.

This is true. And the problem is that its VERY easy to be a Monday morning quarterback from an outside point of view. Different PD's have different policies.....and on top of that its always easier to look back at the fact and say "oh well this could have been done better". Bottom line, its their job. At the time, I would be willing to bet that they did everything they could think of to help the situation. I do the same at my job, and Im sure that everybody else here does too. We all, most likely, try our best at the job we are given, even if we make mistakes from time to time. It is unfortunate that three people lost their lives and there may have been something that could have been done.

 

Honestly, Im glad to see a community that for the most part respects police officers. I have been on countless forums that would be *****ing and moaning, showing some major disrespect for police officers.....as if police officers are actually out to get us. Its nice to see people like this that dont just jump on the bandwagon.

I refuse to be critical you can't plan for every contingency. I have no doubt the officer in charge is being consumed with guilt. He did what the plan said and was assesing the situation remeber he only had a second hand account from a innacurate witness.

If it was up to me, i'd say firing "squad" but with just the husband shooting. He gets to use a fully automatic weapon that takes drum mags or a belt.

Make 'em suffer. Use an American 180 machine gun. .22LR rounds with 275 round detachable drum mags

bad situation, seems like setting up a perimeter was a good move, especialy since the 15k was withdrawn you would think they had what they want and would have left everyone ok.. but since they raped the women i suppose they did not want anyone to live no way the cops knew that yet..this must be eating those officers up..this is just a sad story all around for everyone involved..

I guess in today's society they have to plan so they are not sued later. If it were my family , i'd rather less planning and more Dudley Do-Right to the rescue.

This. Though it would be extremely difficult to be the husband and maintain this outlook. In any case, this type of situation should be used to further develop the appropriate response plan.
