4. Talk about a rush to judgment
Based apparently solely on your own preconceptions, you have assumed and/or concluded that (1) the individual was a purely innocent victim; (2) the police "wasted" time in accessing what was apparently a truly bizarre and unique crisis situation; and (3) the police "failed"; and (4) not the person who placed the collar on his neck, but the police themselves actually "caused his death."

Can't you at least wait for the facts to come in before casting such harsh judgments? Maybe the cops did fuck up, but at this point, how can you even begin to judge them? Using hindsight to judge very difficult, time-sensitive decisions is pretty lame. But using hindsight before even having any hindsight is just plain ignorant.
