the gravest error was the reluctance of officials to confront the killer during the first few minutes of the attack.

The cops were f**king COWARDS because for once they would actually have to put their lives on the line instead of terrorizing others.

ACAB.

And no, I certainly DON’T expect cops to come running to my defense if a shooter put me at risk, as these cops have confirmed. Yet, I could plausibly expect them to do a “no-knock” violently armed home invasion on the flimsiest of pretences. Always the braver so long as they hold the advantage.

Never really hear about somebody the cops save in a dramatic way. Despite their best efforts, you hear about the people they kill in a dramatic way all the time, though.

Maybe they could try, I dunno, not killing anyone in a dramatic way.

It's worse than that. So much worse. They didn't even set up a triage point. So people died from just lack of care after they were rescued.
