Quick scan for info since the DUmp includes no links, felony warrant for selling coke and meth amphetamines, higher end stuff than a dime bag of weed, warrant served by a tactical squad, indication that they were expecting trouble, perp fleeing, could be running (or driving, having trouble getting a bead on that one) to a weapon, to take hostages, who knows what. One dead perp (selling to an informant) or possible hostage situation, high speed chase that could hurt/kill multiple uninvolved people, armed perp shooting at cops and surrounding civilians? Not that hard a choice. Not one I want to make, but that's why I'm not a cop. Also why I don't run from cops, or slang dope.
