Hostage taker shot dead after abducting 2 year old child and holding her at knife point...

Wow.  What a trauma for that mother and the children involved.  Thank goodness they are okay.

I gave a hard time to some other police officers who pepper sprayed a baby squirrel and shot a guy's dog, but this is a situation when we need police officers who can act. You can't take chances in a situation like this. Well done.
