What all of us saw were heavily armed and armored police officers, dressed in the most stylish black commando uniforms, standing in clumps outside the building (some actually eating doughnuts) and yelling at the kids who did escape.
The writer of the article assumes that our police have the guts to take on the "active killers" when in practice, selfless and brave individuals are a rarity. The whole damn bunch of Columbine police should have been fired for their gutless performance or at least, disarmed and reduced to meter maids.
I don't know. I think it may be more common than you let on. I know it is anecdotal, in the past 4-5 years, the KCPD and MAST ambulance have had several officers/staff injured taking on would be mass murders and rescuing people. One bad guy was actually gunned down inside a mall, as 2 police officers went in after him; stopping a potential bloodbath.
“...when in practice, selfless and brave individuals are a rarity.”
It is because this is true that such things as police and military were reserved to men. In the male world there is leverage to make men who might be scared shitless perform under fire, ie; you lose the right to call yourself a man if you don’t AT ALL TIMES rise to a standard.
In the feminized cop culture what we saw at Columbine was par for the course.
I have ask this question before, but have not had an accurate reply.
The police/swat team arrived at the Columbine School but it was at least 1 to 2 hours or possibly longer before they entered the school to go after the the killers.
Does anyone know exactly how long they waited?
A teacher was wounded but alive for a considerable length of time after he was shot. Students with cell phones called to get advice on how best to care for the teacher, but he died before the police entered the building.
I have to wonder were there students who might have survived the attack had they had received timely medical attention.
Two words describe the actions of the Columbine police that day:
Cowardly - Despicable
