PERU - Police Sniper In A/C Duct Shoots Hostage Taker

[Kevlar]

A bank robber held 34 people hostage for more than seven hours in a nationally televised drama that ended when a police sniper crawled through a ventilation duct and shot him in the head, authorities said. He died moments later.

The drama began Friday afternoon when the robber entered the Continental Bank in Lima’s clothes-manufacturing district carrying a 9-mm pistol and claiming to have explosives, said Juan Fernandez, head of a special police tactical unit.

As the robber was about to leave, he saw police arriving and decided to take hostages.....

so i don't know about the American cops but i think others countries, the police is more into killing bad guys than saving them. As if you are in the gang, a killer or hostage taker, you know you will end up death by the police. What American cop does ? chasing them around with bunch of squad cars and waste tax payer money on gas, and money to feed them idiots in jail. No wonder nobody cares about doing bad things in america. Because the system is so soft, so much mercy on their soul. The government cares about getting every dollars and cents out of each people and harrassing good citzens and supporting the criminals.
