The cops should've stormed the warehouse sooner

Didn't the cops outside see Mr. Blonde, Mr.White and Mr. Pink take a uniformed police officer out of a trunk of a car and force him into the warehouse? Surely the cops should've stormed the warehouse at that point. Not to mention, didn't the cops notice or care that Mr. Orange (the undercover cop) showed up with a gut shot wound and was bleeding profusely. Plus when Joe Cabot finally arrived at the warehouse, the cops still didn't immediately enter the warehouse. Why did the cops wait so long?

Still a great and entertaining movie though with excellent writing and dialogue. Really enjoyed it. I think Reservoir Dogs is an awesome movie.

This operation was about catching Joe Cabot, they didn't want to move in until he showed up. I think this was explained more in a deleted scene.

^ yes and it was repeated many times throughout the movie.. for example, Mr. Orange told Marvin (the earless cop) that the police are waiting for Joe Cabot to show.

why they waited so long once Joe showed up? so we can see the mexican stand-off ;)
