And don't rob banks and point guns at hostages heads until you've passed the "what cops shoot you for on general principle" exam.

Not sure when they give that, but apparently not to 19 year old freshmen who just recently re-enrolled in high school.

Of course this is all the cops fault from what a lot of the tweets and people are saying.

I mean it isn't his fault he accidently robbed a bank and held a bunch of people hostage for several hours, and really didn't mean anything when he walked out with a gun pointed at a hostages head.

I guess they should give him credit for telling the teller to call the cops as he was robbing the bank and just waited for him to escape with the hostage or kill them before bothering to do anything.

Don't kids watch TV anymore? I mean I thought it was pretty well known that after 3 hours of talking to the hostage negotiator there will be snipers and they will shoot you before you have a chance to pull the trigger if you are doing anything with a gun that might kill someone if you did shoot it.

But the cops are stupid and bad and wrong and people are saying they will never respect a cop again.

Some of it does sound like this could be a suicide by cop. However, the cops can't know who is just trying to get themselves killed, and I don't see where they are really the only ones to blame about this situation.
