Reply #64: would you take the same position if they had committed a violent crime

[onenote]

Let's say that they had committed an armed robbery. Assume no one was harmed. Now they are holed up with their weapons refusing to surrender. Would you say that the authorities should do nothing but wait them out? Would your answer be the same if they had hurt someone in the original crime, but were not likely to hurt anyone else as long as they were holed up? What if they hadn't yet been convicted, but were suspects in a murder. Should the authorities simply let them remain holed up for months on end and make no attempt to take them into custody so that they can stand trial?

Trying to understand if there is any circumstance in which you think the authoroties are justified in using force to take someone into custody.
