Liberty and living in a free society has a price, and that price is not getting you inalienable rights trampled on when it's for the greater good. I would rather the robber get away than to have one person's rights violated by anybody. A lot of your arguments hinge on the assumption that the police are the only ones capable of defending the populace (i.e., "what if one person died because the police didn't act soon enough" or "what if the robber shot other people because the police didn't do this or that"). This isn't and should not be the case.
My rights are not negotiable, and yours shouldn't be either. The fact that those involved are not pissed (that I know of) is very discouraging.
