Any pressure would have been escalated by Moat. He would have had certain requests met and some denied. Deny a man like he was portrayed to be and he has lost control of the situation which would make him angry and frustrated and that does not lead to good dialogue.
The Police would have sat there for as long as it would have taken. Believe you me having been involved in a two week containment I can vouch for that.
Remember all radio communications will have been recorded so any suggestion that the incident should be brought to any sort of swift conclusion would be tantamount to manslaughter.
Those Officers at the actual scene would have had sole responsibility for decision making and immediate tactics. Overall tactics would have been decided somewhere much drier.
