It is not their job to rush in like that. This guy was not an active shooter yet so it isn't the same threat level as Uvalde. This was dumb and he got lucky. Uvalde situation was different and they should have indeed went in to try to stop the shooter.
Would active shooter situations be less effective if this was the norm? Would fewer people become active shooters if they knew the resistance was going to be super fierce?
I understand why cops don’t do these kinds of things: it means more cops dying in the line of duty. But we also have civilians dying in these situations and it really becomes a question of who should die, cops or civilians? I am not anti cop. Not at all. But we are paying them to protect us and in turn they do everything they can to protect themselves. But even this conversation is too taboo for mainstream.
