[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not fair to beat up these LEOs.  We don't know the situation at all. Once the guy is in you can't really just barge in without having a plan.  The shooter already was in - that room was totally shot up.  I mean once he's locked into a room he's not going anywhere and the damage is done.  You have to ensure the safety of everyone else in there.  You can't just go in and shoot it up so they followed protocol and waited for SWAT.  It's not like the movies people.  I would suggest the right questions are why he's able to get in at all.  You can fault not getting him in outside of the school but once he's in and barricaded there's not much you can do.  I don't know if they knew he was barricaded or not but look at any other shooting at as school and the shooters either Jill themselves inside the school or outside the school.  Or if you are already inside and can engage  them but to blindly just go in shooting is not really sensible.  I think it's easier to be angry in hindsight but in the moment they had to be sure they could get him.  Of course it's infuriating this could happen at all,  it's absolutely horrific he could be in and get into a room at all.  But really you don't know the reason they waited to go in and maybe they were getting other kids out in the meantime which is the best they could have done.[/quote]

The city has its own SWAT team. Unfortunately it’s relevant expertise seems to be limited to playing dress up and tweeting out photos. [/quote]
