Why no honest discussion of how a cop DID arrive on scene just 1.5 minutes after attack onset, but PARKED UP THE STREET..?

Why no discussion of how Lanza intended to “do” the high-school, but upon arriving saw a police car already parked out in front to handle some stupid “pot in the locker” call...?

Yeah, I read something awhile back regarding recommendation of new procedures being put into place, specifically after Columbine, that would advise police to engage even in a “warm” situation where they would place high importance on stopping “hemorrhagic” situations so as to reduce severe injury, loss of life. In other words, instead of police requiring a totally secure situation with all potential/possible threats eliminated before stepping in to help victims they can now actually put priority on getting in to help those bleeding to death in a more timely fashion.

I’m guessing that since we’ve all heard that the police are instructed to put their own safety above anything else, it’s probably safe to say that what they’ve been doing in some of these shooting situations is waiting it out. Look up the Chestershire murders. They set up a perimeter. And then waited until the perps came out and try to drive off before they apprehend them and then an injured victim (the father in the home) stumbles onto the lawn. He stated he saw the swat team members hiding among the trees before/as he called out for help. Meanwhile his wife and 2 daughters are dead inside and the house has been lit on fire.
