if it takes handcuffs and tasers to control people during these situations - that's on the people that are out of control.

these people were "trying to get to their children" during a lock-down. you can't do that - no matter how emotional you might be at the time. and if you are incapable of understanding that ... sorry. these people will probably end up not being charged, or lightly charged considering the action/offense - but they do have to maintain control during a potentially dangerous situation.

do police routinely allow relatives/parents to rush into a burning building - or one that has been cordoned off due to a gas leak? No!
