This makes LEOs job MUCH more difficult to make target choice in favor of 'good' guys. No real reason to argue this...just making a point that may or may not apply.

Just to clarify, and I probaly have a much different opinion of law enforcement in this country than you do, but I didnt mean to imply that the cops shot a bunch of innocent people. My guess is though they did the most killing. BUt it was an extremely difficult chaotic situation. And its just a guess. I am pretty critical of law enforcement in general, but to your point we really dont know anything at this point.
It's possible that they did, but like you said...that's just a guess at this point. That being said, if any one of them was actively engaged in a shoutout with other people and the police shot them then I don't have a problem with that. If the police shot someone unarmed or that wasn't actively trying to shoot someone else, then that's a whole different story.
Indeed. That's why I was saying a few pages back that if I were caught in this situation I don't think I'd even attempt to go for my gun unless I had no other choice. If just try to hide somewhere and wait for the shooting to stop. But yeah...in a situation like this it would be very easy for a "good guy" with a gun to be mistaken for a "bad guy".
+1 - I would also be concerned about leaving the premises once the police contained the situation. I imagine they were checking everyone for weapons, and even a person with a legal CHL would likely be subject to some additional questioning and possibly arrest.
Personally, I wouldn't have entered the restaurant if I saw that many bikes parked out front.
