“They had plenty of opportunities to stop it because they were going into Stockton this way and that. They had plenty of time to lay down tracks (spike strips) and whoever the dispatcher was… didn’t want to lay down the tracks. They wanted to wait until SWAT (could arrive).” In fact, the officers were so ill-trained in hostage situations, that they were unable to read the clear signal of a hostage being dumped from the moving vehicle as a sign to back off. Even after it happened a second time, the officers still pursued hostage-takers firing wildly at the vehicle. At no time did the safety of the hostages seem to be a concern. At the very least, this is criminal negligence.
