Are you kidding? These guys don’t know 1,2, 3 of policing. I’m not a policeman, but as an attorney, I deal with police all the time.

Here are some basic steps they could have taken.

1. Setup crime scene perimeter around the area.

2. Evacuate people in immediate vicinity of the crime scene & keep the bystanders away.

3. Put heavily vehicles around the suspect so in case of shootout bullets don’t go flying everywhere.

4. Have snipers ready to take out suspect if they have to.

Other than heavy vehicles around him, they did all the rest, except that the media hounds refused to go away…and police had their hands full with a crazed gunman in the middle of a red zone. The people surrounding the scene were all either police personnel, or media outlets…lets be very clear about this. Civilians were pushed back in the initial part of the drama.

Lol you’re berating the guy who disarmed the suspect & applauding the police who were standing around like grazing cows?

We must have been watching 2 different dramas, because I missed the one where he disarmed the suspect. The drama that I saw was where Zamurad was lying on the ground, and the gunman had an open field of people in front of him, with an SMG in each hand which could fire more than 10 rounds per second. If police had not intimidated and overpowered him with heavy aerial firing and by swarming around him, he would have likely gotten off about 30-40 bullets into the crowd of media and police.
