Re: Boston Bombers Shootout - Would you take the shot?

I think it comes down to the golden rule. What would you want you to do, if you were the officers?
If I were a cop, and some bad guys were throwing pressure cooker bombs at me, shooting/driving at my colleagues (and killing some), and a good patriot--or anyone--had them in their sites with an AR-15 and a fresh 30 rounds, from inside a window on the second story, then I would want them to take the shot. if they had a little 380 or something, i might want them to sit tight. by the way, the watertown officer who was shot was treated at mt. auburn hospital (just ~2 blocks from harvard square). i lived across the street from that hospital on shaler lane (family housing for harvard) and my first son was born there. i actually wheeled my wife home in a stolen wheelchair (that I returned later). i also used to grocery shop a mile down mt auburn street at the shaw's grocery in watertown. so all of that hit close to home, or at least a place that will always sort of be a mini-home.
