Why save the world, when you can rule it?
What if there are children inside?
In fairness I haven't properly read the thread, but just a point.
On an unrelated note: This trailer park looks like the third world to me.

EDIT
Ok, now I've read the thread I've no idea why the gunman opened fire, and I think the police should've used infra-red imaging to see the boys body heat through the trailer walls, then used an old M14 to shoot thru & take him out with one bullet.

This is the Ohio police department we're talking about here not Delta Force, I simply doubt they have such resources although that would've been the correct course of action to take.

Agreed. That is terrible and the people responsible and everyone of their ilk should be erased from the face of our planet. :2 cents:
If they can afford automatic rifles they can afford infrared. You can buy Flir IR systems for under 14k and even the PDs in Podunk Florida where I live have them. I think they just had orders to take him out regardless especially being a female officer was downed. I'm surprised they didn't burn the trailer down

Most police forces these days have IR.
Many commercial video cameras sold for home use have IR.
What I would've mentioned at the time if I was as smart as I wished I was is that they could've shot out the window of the trailer with 1 bullet and thrown teargas/sleeping gas/ a flashbang/ a smoke grenade in and taken out the target non-lethally that way.
Sadly for me I'm a tosser who didn't think of that 'till later.
^^Yip yep yup.
Facetious

Granted, but when reading about the killings that take place in Ohio over the last couple of years, they seem to be very cold blooded killings, almost killing just for the purpose of killing. :2 cents:

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
In this case, I think the cops chose the best option(s) they had available to them in a deadly situation. With multiple officers down and civilians being shot at, they took out a mad man who had no regard for his own life, or anyone else's.
As for all this talk about infrared technology, I'm far from being very knowledgeable on what's available these days. But my understanding is that infrared works best on targets that are out in the open (the less they move around, the better), not blocked by walls or other objects. And from what little I've read, glass, metal, plastics and even cloth will block infrared imaging. As long as the target does not maintain a static position for a long period of time, thereby establishing a heat signature, you wouldn't be able to "see" him. And this guy was in an aluminum/tin skinned trailer, with studded interior walls topped by some sort of drywall, I assume.
But like I said, I don't know exactly what is out there these days. So if someone knows of an optical technology, that is available to police, that would allow a sniper to "see" through walls in real time, and distinguish a good target from a bad target, please describe it or provide a link. That would be really interesting stuff that many of us would like to read about.

Big city departments have some fancy tools at their disposal. How a more laid back countryside place will have what they need. If anything they will call the big city to team up and provide assistance if it should come to some kind of Rambo scenario.
Dayton, Springfield, Cincinnati, and Toledo will have more at their disposal than say a little town with population of four hundred.
This is one of the biggest news stories due to it isn't every day something like this happens. They had to shoot him because he obviously wasn't going anywhere or giving up. Just have to wait for an opening and hit.
Though I don't know why they couldn't have shot tear gas inside the trailer and taze him down when he gets out.

I suspect the officers may have reacted to the sight of their dead colleague by making sure he didn't get out of there alive by firing as many rounds at the trailer as possible although his actions may have been so dangerous for others that they had no time to wait for tear gas in any case if they didn't have any on them. He may well have shot himself or most likely would have anyway, he was clearly not thinking straight.

It is hard to say how it could have played out with different scenarios. The guy is dead. Good riddance.

IR does not work like solid snakes in the real world
they can easily detect this guy even if he was sleeping motionless in his trailer for hours. I've seen it used in person before in a standoff. Also they more frequently use it for spotting growhouses due to the heat sig of sodium growlights etc. hope that helps
