Armed robbers hijacked a UPS truck after a robbery in Coral Gables, leading police cars on a harrowing chase up Interstate 75 that ended Thursday night in a dramatic and deadly shootout. The FBI on Thursday night acknowledged that four people were killed: the two robbers, a UPS driver who was taken hostage and a bystander who was inside a car at the scene. The of this caused outrage in the public due to what many believed to be reckless police behavior. The way authorities treat hostage situations and how they value human life is directly linked causing many to distrust police forces that lead to innocent people dying even if they were fighting people in the middle of criminal activity.
