We'd not find it acceptable should the police do nothing about a hostage
situation in our home town, eh?

I don't know. If there's a murder in your home town, would you want
the police from the neighboring state to drive in and blow up all the
houses that look like crack houses, in case the murder were drug related?

The end result may be a safer and more peaceful city. But there is a price.
