^ I understand a bit what you are saying Rockstar. With more details not forthcoming, all we can do is assume what the facts are. We will all have to wait and see what comes out of the process.

With regards to grieving parents not blaming officers who didn't go in, who should they blame ? If law enforcement personnel had acted sooner, some of those kids might still be alive. That is of course, conjecture. Lets not forget, that is what these officers are paid handsomely for.

It all comes down to if they were following orders by holding back. If that's the case, the blame is with those decision makers. If you have officers too timid to do their jobs, why have them in the first place ?

The shooter cruz is another matter.

As far as the officer is concerned or anyone for that matter. Nobody ever gets paid to sacrifice their own life for another. That's a personal decision, you either have what it takes, or you dont.

^ I never said the police officers were paid to give up their lives or sacrifice their lives for another. They were being paid to stop the commission of a crime which the police knew full well was in progress. In this case, a deadly rampage. When you put on a uniform, you should understand you are there to " serve and protect ." You may even be called upon to use deadly force. If someone can't handle or understand that, they have no business being a police officer.
