Smith was identified by his fingerprints earlier today. He had been wanted since April for absconding from parole. His criminal record includes armed robbery and automobile theft convictions, records show.

The cop didn't know what the hell he was doing.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Despite the blowjob from the newspaper, that's my opinion.  Modern high-testosterone gunfight tactics the NE cops follow involve unloading on a perp to the point of damn' near bump-firing, which has led to things like an entirely innocent guy getting drilled 19 times by NYPD's finest.  It's a ridiculously inappropriate tactic in a hostage shield situation.

Exclusive: Nassau County 911 Operators Claim Stunning Lack Of Training

NEW YORK (CBS 2) — Startling accusations have been lodged against the Nassau County 911 system.

One of its own operators says employees are not getting the training they need to save lives, and that may have contributed to the death of a Hofstra University student during a hostage standoff, CBS 2’s Amy Dardashtian reported exclusively on Wednesday.

On May 17, the training of the county’s 911 operators came under a microscope. On that night, a gunman took four Hofstra students hostage during a botched robbery. Dalton Smith was holding 21-year-old Andrea Rebello in a headlock when police entered the house.

“He kept saying ‘I’m gonna kill her,’ and then he pointed the gun at the police officer,” an official said during the investigation.

The officer fired, killing the robber and Rebello. Nassau Police Benevolent Association President James Carver said 911 did not communicate to officers that there were hostages.

Not looking good. I am normally against crazy lawsuits, but the family should sue the police.
