Enquiry reveals that top police "missed opportunities" to shoot the gunman holding hostages (and eventually killing two of them) because they were worried more about possible backlashes against the "Muslim community" than they were concerned about the lives of 18 hostages.

Huh?

Hey ttbn,
None of what you say surprises me at all.
The story (as you lay it out) is actually what I thought had happened from day 1.
From the very first day I heard (or read somewhere) the cops shot hostages as they entered the cafe.
I watched it happen live and thought right then they were too gung-ho and likely killed people going in.
My feeling as it unfolded was that they were more concerned with further Islamic terrorist attacks and tip-toed around taking him out.

Even the testimony from the police talking about the 'offender's rights', well it sounded like they were covering up their own incompetence.

Apparently they declined help from the military too I heard somewhere as well, did anyone else hear that?

AC,

Yes. They decided against using the military.

Welcome to the new world of the limp wrist brigade, nothing like the feather duster approach hey!

Unfortunately we have built our nest so we now have to lie in it. We are incapable of making the simplest decisions for fear of upsetting the likes of the queers, or half a dozen Aborigines living in some remote community thinking that's sustainable.

We cant vote for anyone with balls, because they get chucked out, and our fallen war veterans must be turning in their graves to think they sacrificed their lives for their country, only to have it turn out like this.

Its time to bring back the biff!
