Any honorable man would have gone in there and swarmed the fucker.
There is no way cops with weapons, body armor, and superior numbers were afraid of a nutjob who probably never even zeroed the sights on his weapon. They were told to stand down.
You're totally wrong. Cops just want to get through their retirement and live on that fat pension. They do not take risks anymore. The the days where there were some guys who were going in there to help people and not be concerned about money or over. People are hired into the force by the people who are already in the force only if they believe that the goal is to get a pension preserve a pension and keep the pension like the guys that are still in the force waiting to retire. So they won't hire Young guns who are all about helping the people and doing all this stuff and don't think it should be a high paying job. Those people are excluded from hiring by the people who hire police now. Because they don't want to political division within their ranks. They want people who are going to support the union and work their pensions and know that they're only gold is to increase their pensions increase their monetary seizures so they can auction them and make more money for the force which will then increase their salary which of course then increases their pension. That's what it's all about. And unless you start changing the way cops are hard and you don't let cops be the determining factor in which cops or which applicants are hired it's not going to change.
And yes by the way I use a speech to text app so if the words don't make sense then sound them out.
how many times do we have to watch police not go into these situations before you can believe that glorified meter maids are fucking pussies?
Maybe, but fuck, sorry sir we're going in. The court of public opinion would have made disciplinary action against them untenable.
Absolutely.
Since I’m sure some of those cops are parents too, it’s hard to understand how they’d not only not go in, but actively restrain parents who were following their paternal instincts.
Even if they were just following orders to stay out and secure the perimeter, they have to live with the fact that they followed those orders.
