Unfortunately, that's not what their training tells them to do:

[quote][i]Police training starts in the academy, where the concept of officer safety is so heavily emphasized that it takes on almost religious significance. Rookie officers are taught what is widely known as the “first rule of law enforcement”: An officer’s overriding goal every day is to go home at the end of their shift.[/i][/quote]

Sorry, this is applicable when rooms full of 9 and 10 yr olds are getting slaughtered. You don’t just stand outside and wait.

It's inapplicable to any active shooter post Columbine. The thinking used to be that you want to calm and negotiate with a gunman to save lives, but now it's go in fast and search out the shooter before they can kill more people. These cops decided to wait

I'm not going to sit in judgement of cops who made choices under difficult circumstances.  We'd all like to think that we would have done better when faced with the prospect of dying kids, but half of DC has had the luxury of working of been sitting at home because of COVID.  Most of us are hardly the warriors for the public good (with the exception of frontline workers).[/quote]

A sniper fired more than 200 high velocity rounds at my kid’s school in DC using four fully automatic assault rifles and a high capacity drum magazine. Four people were shot. This happened last month. [/quote]

And that is the fault of Congress (specifically Republicans) for not having the guts and brains to put in place common sense measures that would reauire background checks and ban high capacity magazines.  Because all of the legitimate gun owners out there know you don’t need the standard number of rounds to shoot a deer. [/quote]

Do you think for a second that the person shooting up the PP's school legally purchased that gun?  No.[/quote]

I'm betting on legally purchased. Most mass shooters manage to buy guns legally[/quote]
