According to the press report, the police arrived at the scene
at 9pm. And when they failed to persuade the man to let them into
the house, they called the Civil Defence "to prevent the man from
escaping" and called the Special Operations Command (purpose
unknown, maybe the police officers here could enlighten me)
Don't you think that the police should be calling the negotiating
team rather than the CD? Isn't it the responsibilty of the police
negotiating team to avert any disaster and prevent any unnecessary
loss of human lives? Or have i overstated the function of our
police negotiating team?
The police negotiating team was only called an hour later.
Yes, maybe the man had already killed the wife but should we or
maybe the police assume that? Maybe she was not dead yet and there
could be a possibility of saving her had the police or CD or
Special Operations Command got into the house earlier?
Btw, i find it rather embrassing that the police had to mobilize so
many manpower and spend so many manhour and in the end not able to
do anything.
acotis and m +square,
you all were participating in an internet forum and not issuing
press statements and there weren't any need to protect my id by
referring to me as the thread starter. anyway, i should be thankful
that you all didn't refer to me as #27.
cheers
