To a point I agree but not in where the blame lies.

It is the criminal's fault that those people are in danger. They decided to put everyone around them in danger the moment they decided to be a criminal. And not just from LEOs but from other criminals as well.

If they were not a criminal then those around them would not be in danger or at least any more than anybody else.

It is their total lack of regard for the safety of their family and friends that puts them in danger to begin with.

I feel sorry for the innocents that get caught in the crossfire but the LEOs didn't force that person to do the crime that put others in harms way.
