Would you not crucify the cops for NOT pursuing the suspect? Isn't that exactly what the cops in Uvalde are in trouble for? Not acting when they had the opportunity...waiting...then a bunch of innocents are dead.
There is definitely a hard decision to be made to avoid unnecessary death of suspects, but honestly, if it results in more deaths of innocent bystanders then I'm not at all for it.

While I see what your point is in this hypothetical - the cops in question are very lucky that the 30 odd bullets they fired that flew into the nearby community didn't strike any innocent bystanders. That isn't hypothetical - that actually happened.
