I haven't seen this mentioned, but weren't they just looking for a bank robber? Did the felon actually kill someone? Why all this effort and 'force' for just a bankrobber? Put a dye pack in and be done, or let him go and insurance will cover it... Sheesh, seems a bit overkill for just someone who stole some loot! Or did I miss something?

Either way, the ends don't justify the means...

Armed robbery = danger to society. Reason to chase, but that's about it.

good point to bring up...what determines "danger to society"? and what levels of danger justify such actions?

My BS flag is raised.......


IF it was a GPS tracker... then why didn't they keep tracing it till there were a few less then 19 cars to go thru ? ( tho yes even stoping 3 cars they would have violated 2 innocents rights... I be less upset over that )

If it was an anonymous tip ..... how could that info been valid still by the time they got enough officers to the intersection to effect the stops? how long do you spend at a red light ? 1-2 mins TOPS? By the time the tip was called in , dispatched, and officers arrived . the bad guy would be long gone ( which he was). What they think the dude was just hanging out at the intersection?

APD needs a smack in the back of the head over this . And since you can;t actually smack them in the back of the head , it means they are gunna get sued. and they should be.

Looks like the only people pissed off so far are people that WEREN'T THERE... Which includes you... And 99% of the other people posting in this thread...

I love it... Keep going...

Maybe that's why we're so upset, because the people that were there aren't upset, but should be.

I'm not pissed off.

I 100% believe these folks rights were violated. I'm annoyed. I'm upset.... but pissed off ?? Nah

I wasn't in Nazi Germany in the 40's but I'm still upset over the "final solution"

WHY I do I have to be there and part of it to be bothered/upset/concerned/pissed off by it ?

But they're not... And they're emotions are the only ones that really matter in this case...

The police caught a bank robber, no one was hurt, and everyone of you is bitching about it...

I bet you're the same people that bitch when someone gets away... Or you're the same ones that bitch when the police don't help you out.. Right away.. When you demand it.. Cuz you're important..

Let's just say... For shits and giggles... The Aurora Police didn't do what they did... Robber gets away... Car jacks a mother and her two children... Now he has hostages... They corner him... He freaks out... Kills all three of them...


Now you're all going to bitch because they didn't catch the guy at the intersection when they had a chance...


Here's a plan... All of you that are bitching about the way this was handled, and HAVE NOT BEEN ONE... Go be a cop for a day. Just ONE DAY. Then, if you're not too busy crying, come back and tell us how you feel.

One Problem .....................

THEY DIDN'T CATCH HIM BECAUSE OF THESE STOPS.... he wasn't there.

Whats the old Franklin Quote?... Something about giving up rights for safety and security deserves neither.... how's that one go ?

Because you're more or less telling the people that were there how to feel. If they don't feel like anything was wrong, leave 'em alone.

I've actually been in a situation kind of like this. Yeah, it sucked, but the people they were looking for got caught. Could I have sued? Probably... Why didn't I? Because the 4 douche bags running drugs got caught and my night was "ruined" for a whole 20 minutes. Well worth it to see 4 felons hauled off to jail...

We didn't kill Osama with 100% of the air strikes we sent over to Iraq and the Stans... Or is that one different?

Oh, and, if you wanna play that... If the idiot that called in the tip would have been smarter, none of this would have happened... Why don't you blame him/her?

Oh that's right... Because it's not their fault... The police should just ignore all those tips... My bad.
