Terrorist attack in Sarajevo

It isn't very hypothetical at all. It is how they are trained to act in situations where the lives of others are possibly at stake. I can't think of a single instance where someone who had shot other people and was armed was intentionally shot in the leg by a sniper in the US.
 
Are they frequently mentioned in the media? Yes, they are.

Is this policy well-known by most Americans? Yes, it is.
 
You're much more likely to hear - SWAT team takes out gunman in the mall - compared to - SWAT Team makes several arrests in a drug raid - in the national news.

The man in Bosnia from what I read had apparently sprayed the building with bullets so admittedly I think it is likely that he would have been shot dead (although you can't speak with absolute authority on any hypothetical situation, and it is definitely a hypothetical situation by definition of not having happened) and I wouldn't characterize this as unreasonable because it is in the interest of the safety of others. I think what some people are objecting to is that you seem to characterize the US paramilitary forces as immediately shooting anyone with a weapon without giving that person a chance to surrender, etc. and another poster suggested they shoot anything that moves or something along those lines.

Wow I never actually studied a map of the adriatic coast, but damn Croatia is trolling Bosnia big time. Why is is that you guys dont have any coast(except for that very small patch)
 
ı would say the Bosnians would see that their link to the sea would have been cut off by the locals as soon as Croatia decided to make it Herzegovina instead of Bosnia Herzegovina . Happened in the 1990's when Tudjman and Milosevic met in a restaurant and drew the division of the country on a table cloth . Resulted in airstrikes , Serebrenitza , no-understanding and finally America had to come in and stop the Bosnians right before they were about to roll-back . Bosnia is a combination of Croats , Bosnians and Serbians and the map is really trying to avoid who owns what .

as for the recent event , this idiot says America is getting ready and sending up people to interfere with any possible operations of much talked about but never seen Mil Mi-24 unit of the Bosnian Army . No doubt where this originates in idea . Vehhabis are cheap . And plenty enough to waste when remotely necessary .

It is, they slowly took it away, we had another sea access, a small strip of land between Croatia and Montenegro, I think it was taken away in 1946. This is how the real map should look like (Bosnian Sanjak during the Ottomans)

During the Bosnian Kingdom a large part of the Croatian sealine was Bosnian
