      They also successfully worked to negotiate with the hostage takers when the police didn’t.

      After they negotiated their own release they criticised the police in the media, and the police realised that since the hostage leading all of this was a woman, they could just employ a standard abuser’s tactic and call her crazy. Apparently it worked.
