As a parent, I'd die for my child (obviously), so to stop a parent from trying to save their child is criminal. The police weren't doing their jobs, if they were the parents wouldn't have felt their children were in danger

It might sound terrible, but is this really any different from a firefighter punching out a man trying to run into a burning building?
I have to admit, I'd probably do the same thing in that position. Maybe not tazering them, but I'd certainly have restrained them.
The last thing that the police need is additional people who aren't in on whatever the plan might be running around and potentially getting in the way. Or, worse, being mistaken for the shooter and being killed.
We've all seen the movies where a dumb civilian runs into the line of fire, or gets taken hostage, or gives away the heroes location.
