Wasn't one of the lessons learned from Columbine is you get a few officers and go in to an active shooter situation?
Well, they did do that in Orlando. But then they pulled back out. Because of bombs or hostages or summat?
Didn't they have bombs and hostages in Columbine, too?
Does the doctrine NOW have to be "you get a few officers and go in to an active shooter situation, and you PERSIST."
It's a hard thing, I know. And easy for me to say, a week later and in the safety of a chair behind a keyboard, and I mean no rancor to the Orlando PD, honestly. I don't know if I'd have the huevos to do so, if I were a cop.
They get on the SWAT for the extra pay, not because they have the nerve. If they do have the nerve, the trainers beat it out of them. If they had gone to the wrong address they would have kicked in the door and then shot the dog.
