What about crossfire? Think about this from your military tactical training snipey. What about the backdrop? This is where military training and police training differ. There are no "accepted casualty" rate in the civilian world.

One thing i would say is that in their place i would've definitely preferred to have waited for more than three SWAT troops to show up to move- if at all possible. Going with only three operators really reduces your tactical options and your ability to rapidly envelop and overpower the opposition. Circumstances may have dictated that waiting was not possible, but on the surface(based solely on this report) it appears to be a tactical blunder.

Again, you have a "different" understanding of tactics. In these operations, we try to have "designated shooters" who are specifically selected based on their training and experience. We do not want operators shooting fully automatic rifles in many directions. We want focused firepower to stop the problem.
