I certainly hope police are trained for this situation in some manner, they are professionals right? Defending our lives, and rights.. correct?

I'd say cops willingly give up some of their rights when they take a job safeguarding the public. There job is to "to protect and serve" , so I think the hostage rights should be first.

No amount of training can prepare a law enforcement officer for every possible contingency. Especially where a madman whose just shot a cop is concerned. We don't know all the details of that tragedy...it sounds to me like they were presented with an impossible situation. [/b]

If its a question of hostages having rights, then do those rights not also extend to the law enforcement officer who in the course of their duty - trying to help that hostage - has their life threatened as well?[/b]
