> 35 minutes may seem like a long time when looking at this in hindsight Because it is a long time? What are the police for if not to be the ones rushing in? There was an active gunman, what reason could there possibly be to wait? They had time to setup police tape and pin down parents who were begging to be allowed to do what the police refused to do. How many kids are we supposed to allow to be slaughtered while the police wait for the odds of multiple of them against 1 gunman to increase even higher? > Because if we take a hypothetical rush in immediately situation. Not only could the police be rushing into the building parents may be rushing in as well attempting to save their children. Or, you know, since the police were there first they could have done their jobs instead of waiting until parents started to arrive? According to reports they were on the scene when the gunman crashed his car and entered the school. I'm so sick and tired of hearing the police talk about how heroic they are and how they would rush in to a situation like this. Instead we have reports the some police DID rush in, to save their own kids, and then they left. They don't get to have it both ways, they can't be cowards who wait until there is little to no chance they could be hurt and also constantly talk about how they put their lives on the line.
