Somehow I think that if the police had tried to find a way to isolate the truck by clearing traffic and allowing it to continue on to a better area for containment, this wouldn't have happened. Police will justify their actions when there is NO justification for a mass shootout on a public Highway. They did not protect nor serve and is an example of police mentality that needs to be reevaluated so that no unnecessary loss of life occurs. The thieves got away with nothing so why couldn't they be led to believe that they were going to escape? Yes this affects me because I'm watching how we're becoming a police state.
