After personally witnessing an aids fest today, we need to talk about preserving the life of hostages and following demands. Instead of trying to be the hero and shoot all the bad guys, try to save the life of the hostage....
The big problem most of the time is that people do not understand how the police works. Just because there is a C2 charge on your door, doesn't mean that we're going to breach in right away, it's there as a backup for the guy that you are currently holding at gunpoint.What most of the time happens when I see sits like this is that some guy inside gets angry and starts shooting then when the police breach inside (because the hostage may have been killed) they get angry and start complaining in OOC.
Sometimes they try to breach in while negotiating due to the fact that they are distracted and catch them off by surprise. In both situations it's kinda hard not to hit the hostage considering that most people end up using the hostage as a meat shield.
