Surely if they knew who he was they would've just raided the house? Why would they give them a head start?

Thats my point
If he was on their radar why give him the head start? it makes no sense.

Officers told not to fire unless fired upon

What happens if someone needs to get medicine for their baby? The police will shoot/arrest them ?

Police state , my god I'm beginning to see truth in Alex Jones rants

Rightttttt,
So you'd rather they leave everyone out so
- they can be easily caught in cross fire
- used easily as hostages
- more easily killed with explosive devices
- the suspect can easily carjack to get away
- the suspect can easily use explosive devices to kill yet more people
- the suspect can use public transport
- it'll make it harder for cops to catch him thus prolonging the entire event

Yep, your right, let's leave everyone out..... Sure they'll be fine, what's the worst that can happen?
