Exactly! HUGE lack of logic on the writer's part. My jaw dropped when they chose to wait for the fuss to pass in a small trailer by a lake with one shotgun and a handgun. That was insane. No self-respecting police force would allow that.

But this is based on actual events, whatever that means.

What does that mean? All the more reason for them to go off into hiding instead of being so stupid.

Well Jim said in the beginning to Kris that she was never to tell other cops what they were doing. That they had eachother's backs and only could trust eachother. Plus as powerful as Gaines was he probably had half the department on his payroll. Jim and Kris could only trust eachother.

Exactly! I love the movie but this is the only fault I have with it.
