There arer two types of countries when it comes to policing:
1) those where the police are meant to save themselves and the government by using as much force as possible ASAP and then not ask too many questions
2) those where the police and the government think it is their primary job to save all lives

There are absolutely no other countries except the ones which are somewhere in between or a bit more extreme.

Either way it seems like the people responsible don't just want to shoot the guy if it is not necessary. And the best way to save the hostages may not be to send more bullets into their vicinity at high speeds.
