They might try to take out the hostage taker even if it meant a risk to the hostages, especially so if they were shooting civilians from behind said hostages.
This is Hamas hiding behind Palestinian children and civilians while shooting at Israelis. Some of them are going to get hurt until the threat is neutralized.
It’s interesting how often I hear this cited, the implication being that women and children under 18 couldn’t possibly be militants, which is not true.

I’m not blaming the children, I’m blaming Hamas for bringing their children to the consequences that they face.
Why in hostage situations do the police just not murder all the hostages?
Right, because that’d be fucking nuts.
