Why Blame Police?

Tweet

I live in L.A. and last night a man shot his girlfriend and took hostage his little two year old girl. He barricaded himself in the house and was threatening to shoot himself. Ultimately, the police sharpshooter took him out to save the little girl's life. What I don't understand is how the family of this guy can now blame the police for doing their job. I'm sorry that the man was killed but I'm really tired of family members of criminals blaming the police when it was their family member who created the problem. I'm not saying the police are always right, either. However, when someone is in the middle of committing a crime, the police have to do what's in the best interest of everyone concerned and the one committing the crime gets the least concern, which is how it should be. If these people don't want their loved ones getting killed, perhaps they should teach them right from wrong so that they aren't committing a crime and the police aren't forced to kill them. I'm really tired of people who raise their kids without teaching them it's wrong to steal or kill or hold someone hostage or shoot someone and then they want to blame others when that person's actions culminate in consequences they don't like. I don't want anyone killed regardless of what they've done but when they are putting others, including the police, in danger, the police have to do what is necessary to protect themselves and others. I think the families of these people need to realize that if they aren't going to discipline their children and teach them right from wrong, they could seriously regret the outcome of that child's life.
