    The hostage is a child.

    Okay, then.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Wow they showed more patience than I would've. Nothing more gut wrenching than watching a child be harmed or nearly so.

            I'm surprised they took him out that way - it was a shot through the window, right?

            Was the kid not in any danger of getting hit by "friendly fire?"

              @George-K As clearly an expert on the matter, I would say a breach of the room would be a higher risk to the kid, as would be waiting longer with a many holding a knife saying he's going to kill the kid. Also, clearly as an expert sniper, I can tell you the dude made the shot very, very easy in terms having a clear shot. I was half expecting in the footage for the person with the body cam (who is holding his gun but didn't shoot) to shoot a 2nd shot to make sure it was a head/kill shot.

                Are your eyes brown? 😆 😆

                1. The distance was very close.
                2. The closer the guy is to the glass, the less deflection. For example, with something that deflects a lot - an arrow - if you're shooting a deer standing in palmetto, if he's standing against the palmetto, shoot him. For a bullet? I've shot one on the other side of a small tree.

                  @Jolly I was being sarcastic about my expertise, but I think we're on the same page about the rest
