So many good guys with guns could not capture suspect #2 when he had advanced arms and bombs.

He escaped. Just shows you that if we lessen the sophistication of the weapons the public has....the better the odds for the good guys with guns (police). Instead the good guys ended up injured (x15) or dead (x1).

- this just shows you what cowards they really are - killing is fun if they don't see your face.

Which is worse. Yet they remain cowardly and evil for doing it. It's much harder to do the work daily than do some act in a one fell swoop as they did.

For whatever reason they did it, which is still not clear. Maybe it doesn't matter why they did it; just that they did it.
