[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, standing down has become popular, but mighty deadly. Perhaps rethink that nonsense.[/quote]

Commander on the scene determined it was a "barricaded subject" situation and not an "active shooter" situation.  This led to the stand down.  In hindsight, it was the wrong call and contributed to additional loss of life.[/quote]

Yes, it was a wrong call.  Obviously.  In a heated situation that happened quickly and I have sympathy for that person who screwed up and must feel beyond terrible.

But what didn't happen quickly was the gradual relaxation of gun control restrictions such that an 18 year old can easily go into a shop and buy two AR platform rifles 2 days after his 18th birthday. This is society's fault for letting guns proliferate like candy such that anyone can access them without any sort of background check or licensing.[/quote]

Wrong call? That sounds like bs.

Witnesses saw the gunman shoot people outside and go inside the school with the gun, then they were hearing shots coming from inside the school - the parents standing there confirmed.  What part of that does not indicate "active shooter" situation?

That's just lies to cover their cowardice.[/quote]

+1. The DPS guy said they believed the shooter was barricaded in and the children were safe and that's why they decided not to go in immediately. That wasn't a wrong call. That was objectively WRONG because they didn't have all the kids out of the school or otherwise accounted for. I don't need any level of law enforcement training to tell me that. That's just common sense.

Not only can I not believe this decision was made at all, I can't believe 19 police officers STOOD IN THE HALLWAY for 40 minutes and did absolutely nothing to help the kids. WTH?[/quote]

I agree with you completely, but I don’t think he said they thought all kids were safe. I think he said they thought no kids were at risk. I interpreted that to mean, they thought everyone was dead already. He was stuck in the classroom and they were waiting for who knows what to evacuate the other kids. [/quote]

The whole “we thought all the kids were dead” thing is clearly BS, considering that kids made multiple 911 calls from the room, begging the police to come in. [/quote]

A Republican cop lying? Shocker.
