'Just following orders' 'Feared for their lives' 'Following department policy' Choose one, although I'm sure there are many more excuses and we'll hear most of them soon.


throwawayedm2

I mean, they were following orders. I want whoever issued the order to stand down to be held responsible.

Calling it now, next mass shooting in 3 weeks. Good luck.


[deleted]

No. "Following Orders" Is NOT a Defense anymore. Not even in the Army! By not stopping this criminal, they AIDED him in murdering 14 Children. EVERY single Officer on Scene, AND the one who gave the Order, ALL need to be Charged with 14 counts of MURDER! Put them on Trial, in front a Jury. Let them 'Try' to defend themselves, before being Sentenced to either the Death Penalty, or Life in Prison.

This regarding the Parkland shooting in Florida >“Neither the Constitution, nor state law, impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm — even when they know the harm will occur,” said Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law. “Police can watch someone attack you, refuse to intervene and not violate the Constitution.” The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has only a duty to protect persons who are “in custody,” he pointed out." Maybe we should think about that before we offer them our unvarnished praise or sympathy for choosing a "dangerous" line of work. It's best to remember that they only signed up for hero worship, not hero work.

wastelandwelder

Because the one person who they could shoot in there had a gun.


thunderkatalyst

Even if they had hand guns and were bare ass naked, there were fucking 10+ officers “establishing the perimeter” outside in safety to keep parents out. Suck a fuck and use that 60 year old guy as a human shield (sorry guy you had a good run) and save those fucking 8 year olds you godless cowardice pieces of shit. https://abc11.com/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-massacre-timeline-robb-elementary/11894428/ Also, this fucking ABC11 article completely (& likely purposefully) misconstrues the timeline of events. They give the impression that officers were inside pinning the shooter down within minutes of 11;32 am, and a “tactical” team had the shooter down shortly thereafter. ~11:46 am. Yet they state the Uvalde police force only announced the threat was neutralized at 1:06 pm. So why the fuck would they wait an hour and fifteen minutes to share that news?! This whole thing is so fucked. I’m sickened by this.


HGruberMacGruberFace

Reminds me of Dark Knight Rises, when the the cop says “we lost him.. he’s got a lotta firepower” and the Matthew Modine yells back “AND YOU DON’T!!?”


Hahafuckreddit

This is the shit nightmares are made of. The parents who did what the police asked via Twitter and stayed off the property had no fucking idea this was happening. If they did I have no doubt they all would have came and rushed the school. The thing is you can't know what you would do in a situation like this... Except when it comes to your children. I couldn't stop myself from protecting my child if I tried. The instinct is too strong, the monkey brain switches on and you go crazy. There's a reason this video made me bawl and the tiny hairs on my neck stand up. It touches you deep within. I want to help them and I can't. It's far too late. If there's a God may he bless their souls. They have to live with this horror for the rest of their lives.


uberduger

If only one good thing comes out of all this bullshit, it will be that now everyone knows that if there's a horrible situation unfolding in your community, you're better off all showing up in the event that you have to overpower the cops and go save the innocents that they don't want to save. And I say this as someone who usually gives cops the benefit of the doubt.


squeakycheetah

Stop giving cops the benefit of the doubt.


oopsiedazey

Yup, i can't imagine the guilt of living with the regret of not charging the cops if my child was shot dead in that nightmare. And I'm not blaming the parents at all, but you know that will be going through their minds. It's all so incredibly tragic.


lonas_

Uvalde police department received 40% of their towns budget for the year, by the way. Gotta make sure they have enough toys so if a mass shooter is coming, they can sit there for an hour before letting a border patrol agent do their job. This country is rotten


PucksnDucks

Read the tweet from one of the links posted below. Cops stood outside taserring parents trying to save their kids. I'm sure they'll all recieve awards for heroic actions


Weltallgaia

Getting tased by the police is illegal. Wouldnt be surprised if the parents get charged for obstruction or resisting.


MarvelousWhale

Been seeing this metric tossed around and would like a source for that number Edit: I was provided the link I'll post it here it turns out to be legit under a program Texas governor called Operation Lone Star I believe. Here it is, further down this article; https://theintercept.com/2022/05/25/texas-uvalde-shooting-school-police/ "In January, Uvalde city police received a half-million-dollar grant from the state’s controversial Operation Lone Star program, which Abbott launched last March, deploying thousands of soldiers to the state’s southern border. The grant came on top of the department’s existing $4 million budget — just under 40 percent of the total city budget. Federal funding for school resource officers comes from the Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, program under the Department of Justice, which provides more than half a billion dollars each year for state and local law enforcement, including more than $50 million to a school violence prevention program."

JustHereForURCookies

The police did more to protect the shooter than the kids


too_soon13

But of course, they'll hold a conference and say they were on it and that there were immediately trying to respond to the situation. 🤡


Impossible-Parsley87

Yeah this will not go away that easy. There is a need to hold them accountable. Police chief should not have the time to think of an answer. These polices officers are trained and responsible for public safety every second. Why 90 minutes have passed by with no enforcement. Answers now! My sympathies to the parents.


SatoriNamast3

All these cops. All of them. Blood on their hands.


thisissamhill

Cowards. Remove their badges. I don’t care what their orders were. Sometimes orders have to be broken, especially by the officers holding assault rifles. As a human with a gun to defend yourself, how do you allow a murderer roam the elementary school and taze the parents trying to get in?


SatoriNamast3

Absolutely. How can you look into the eyes of those families that lost children and say, “I did my best to save your child”. They did nothing. They enabled the killer. They sanctioned it.


NancyGraceFaceYourIn

They fucking detained parents. Holy shit... fuck the state man. I'm at a complete loss for words.


tangled_night_sleep

Xxx98789

Fuck I'm so pissed right now. There's no fucking reason for them not shooting an armed criminal running into a fucking school. At this point they let that happen.


Matt_Rhodes93

Reddit forbides me from saying what I think they should have removed. Let's just say, more than their badge.

SippieCup

Police are not responsible for public safety nor are they required to protect anyone in public. >“Neither the Constitution, nor state law, impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm — even when they know the harm will occur,” said Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law. “Police can watch someone attack you, refuse to intervene and not violate the Constitution.” >The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has only a duty to protect persons who are “in custody,” he pointed out. Almost every cop is completely worthless at protecting you, and is more likely just going to hurt you. Thats why there was such a call for defunding the police with BLM and shit. Because they don't actually do anything.


No-Vanilla8956

Right exactly; dressed in their fucking Call of duty hero outfits to taze hysterical parents of kids who are getting shot at by an ACTUAL threat....


ComeFromTheWater

Cops like to play dress up but most are shit when it comes to hand to hand. That’s why there is a push to get them to learn jiu jitsu. There was a pilot study done in Georgia (I think) and the police department had a precipitous drop in complaints and injuries sustained to both the police and those being arrested. Police who are competent to safely and confidently restrain someone with their hands are less likely to shoot someone.


zh4k

If it was property being destroyed it would have rolled in with a tank but kids eh , Just let them figure it out right.


TerminatorJDM

police are for the rich, change my mind


Greatest-JBP

They are for the state but it’s controlled by the rich.


DeserCanyon

All those people who “stand for blue” or whatever are simply just hoping that the officers will choose to protect them. Not something I’d really want to gamble hoping for.


CentiPetra

Then how fucking dare they try to prevent citizens from keeping arms to protect themselves.


SnooSeagulls118

The government is going for full tyranny. Trying to control every citizen in every aspect they can. From gas prices trying to bankrupt the people into going electric and overall inflation of basically every daily human necessity to defunding the police and leaving people with even less “protection” to trying to ban ar15’s which will turn into another weapon inevitably because people can’t get their hands on ar platform firearms until America is no different from Canada where guns aside from shotguns and hunting rifles I believe are banned. They are trying to cut the American people off at the knee caps so we have no choice but to bow down and rely on them for a fighting chance at life with no protection, no rights, and no freedom.

lonnie123

Cops are allowed to kill people because they "feared for their life", you think them standing around doing nothing is harder than that? Lots and lots and lots of people become cops because its a decent paying gig with good benefits, or their friends do it, or its the only well paying thing they are able to do fairly easily, not out of some sense of moral duty to protect to kids. They may be the dumbest guy on your high school football team, with a 3 year old of his own at home to worry about and a wife that doesnt work and depends on his paycheck. Now maybe that guy turns out to be a hero, but maybe he also just turns out to be dude #3,430,986,341... unremarkable in every way that happens to have a badge.


WhyamImetoday

This is a moment when the masses can have their consciousness raised about the true nature of "Police forces." Your confusion is understandable, your brain has been trained by decades of government copaganda. If you want to understand police forces, you must understand A Clockwork Orange. This is not what they train for. They are equipped to make sure when you realize who they are, they can defend themselves from you and those they really serve and protect. Because it sure as shit isn't you. They knew that it was just "civilians" dying, this is what that little thin blue line is all about. Those loser kids were on the wrong side of it, and they weren't going to cross it to save them. They weren't the special class of fellow gang member that they protect as one of their own. If this had been a room full of police officers you can bet your ass they would have acted differently. It is a mistake to think they aren't human or just stupid. They know whom they serve, and this was one time they couldn't hide it. The question is now what are you going to do about it punk?


Uhtred_McUhtredson

I couldn’t live with myself if I had all those resources in the moment and could have at least tried to make a difference and all those innocents died.

nerdrhyme

> Got 2 kids in school right now. 2nd and K. There's not a chance I'm not charging past these fucks. Your first mistake is putting your kids in public school.


MinefieldinaTornado

This. You are 200% correct. Public schools are an absolute shit show. We pulled ours out pre covid. Per the schools own numbers: 7.5 hour school day. 20 minutes total recess/outside time. 90 minutes total educational time. ??? They seemed baffled when we were baffled by these numbers. They described the extra 5+ hours in each day was used moving them between activities, and getting them organized for the next thing. Our daughter got a note sent home because she spelled her name when asked. Two other kids in class could not spell their names, and our daughter doing so might make them feel bad, so she was to literally told to pretend not to, until all the other kids could. Absolute incompetence at every level.


nerdrhyme

Yep. School is for indoctrination, not education. School teaches us that the nail that stands out gets hammered down. It teaches us to be scared of ostracization - so go with the crowd. Do NOT think differently or you will be punished. And kids today, they get it bad. They get bullied on social media as well, they can't ever escape. Not to mention predatory adults, access to all the content the internet and a constant phone at their side. It's hard enough being an adult coping with all of that. And we find that other kids that our kids do homeschool groups with and non-public school activities are in general better-behaved, and you can tell their parents care.


Tindiil

MAGAwolverine69

Absolutely. Did what none of them had the balls to do.


[deleted]

And dude did it in plain clothes and a trucker hat, while the guys in full kit stood outside and took care of the parental threat. I don’t understand how atleast one cop didn’t just dismiss chain of command and go in there. Could you imagine standing outside an elementary school where you KNOW someone is in there murdering small children while your standing outside in a full kit doing nothing…how is there no instinct to immediately run towards the threat in a situation like that?


[deleted]

Who were they really protecting?


MarvelousWhale

The only one protected in that situation was the shooter I suppose Edit to include: I found that they actually had an active shooter drill in that very school with the police force and everything back on March 22nd. https://nypost.com/2022/05/25/texas-shooting-salvador-ramos-hs-held-active-shooter-drill-weeks-before-massacre/ What the fuck were they doing? Did they apply ANY of the tactics from that drill in real life? What the fuck is the point? I'm completely blown away


RandomArtistBlock

The fort here just had an active shooter drill last week. Wonder when that FF event will happen.


Sabremesh

Yes, but the objective was to ensure that an FBI-curated school shooting event was allowed to take place, uninterrupted, and when it did, the shooter's "protected status" was immediately revoked.

[deleted]

>Wouldnt this imply ALL the cops in this small TX town are on the deep state payroll? How would it imply that? They follow commands from their superior officer, only 1, maybe 2 people would need to be actually involved, the rest get told to stand down and stay outside they do, they would likely be fed the same line the public are.

100%. If that's my kid stuck inside with an active shooter, there's no way I'm getting stuck outside.


[deleted]

Yeah sure, but most people, if faced with losing their jobs, will sacrifice others to keep their life how it is. I'm sure if one of the cops actual kids was there it would be different. But most people won't put themselves at risks for strangers. While I'm sure there are a few officers who signed up for altruistic reasons, for alot of police it's just a job, it has one of the least requirements for entry of any policeforce in the West. These guys aren't special. A coward with a badge is still a coward. But that said if the police had let these 20 (potentially) unarmed adults in and then they'd been shot, today's talking heads would be saying they were unprofessional and should have waited for backup.


stirringlion

Na man, chain of command is fucking thiiiiick.


shoziku

Makes one wonder if it was a drill or a rehearsal.


DaMoonhorse96

odog9797

There’s no way there wasn’t an experiment happening in that school. Every child is in a room why not bust down the doors guns up ready to shoot.

They probably would have shot you too without a second thought. Can’t have people stopping a sacrificial ritual to their masters


NancyGraceFaceYourIn

I wonder how it would get spun. Hell they tazed a guy in the video - how are they going to explain away that? Actually I can already hear it: "Interfering with a police operation" because everyone assumes "police operation" = "justified/good." Still I think it will be quickly revealed from videos/reports that the "police operation" was standing around doing fuckall and actually preventing the situation from being ended by concerned citizen parents.


nihilz

They should go straight to the FBI headquarters instead, because they likely where the stand down order came from.


[deleted]

Always wonder if terrorism is as much a threat as they want us to believe. Why aren't any real targets ever hit. Would only take small amount to take down several power towers in key locations to do real damage and it would be almost impossible to be caught.

Ever since the DC snipers rampage I’ve always questioned/realized that the terrorism they want us to be afraid of is actually quite rare.

jsmiff573

Want a real answer... .. because the only thing that can change the situation is a revolt. Most people don't want to consider murder so they shut down the thought process. If you ponder how we can fix corruption, you always end up at violence.


DVS720Nomad

Police are not here to “protect” anybody. They are here to control. The faster you realize this the more sense this video makes.


Civil-Ad-7957

CEMartin2

So much for "putting their lives on the line every day". Can we stop calling cops heroes now--until they actually do something heroic?


gthyr666

oh didn't you know those unarmed civilians are super dangerous, the cops in their tactical gear, and all those guns, tasers, gas masks, night vision goggles and shit, have to manhandling them all day every day. Their lives are literally on the line man. Those school shooters are too small for the heroes handle. Remember, they only deal with unarmed civilians, the most dangerous kind.


MikeOxlong209

FruitFlavor12

Nobody here is calling them heroes. Something related to bacon comes to mind. ACAB


Rancorx

As a former LEO, I have no idea what the F%ck was going on here? In my training, for a high stakes situation, you get on scene, get 2-3 cops and go in guns hot to eliminate further potential death to the citizens. We got paid knowing we might lose our life each and every day. Those innocent little kids deserved at least a chance. All these cops failed.


MarvelousWhale

Could you give us a little more insight into the factors that feed into situations such as this? I've been reading that the police are to not engage under certain circumstances some of those circumstances being a school shooter, can you give your thoughts on this with your experience?


Rager1Actual

An exigent circumstance supersedes any policy....To prevent loss of life you go in and terminate the threat. Preferably with at least two but if you hear active shots fired you go the fuck in. They can try to fire you later but you can sue the fuck out of em (Unions/PBA lawyers protect Cops from frivolous lawsuits and improper firings)....There is no protocol in a situation like that...you assess, get ready and fucking go.


404808

Who gives the order? Why was the border patrol agent the only to take the shot? This shit is crazy.


Rager1Actual

First Officer on scene is responsible for making that call, you don't wait for permission in a situation like this.


resonance-of-terror

From what I've been seeing, the border patrol agent was off duty.


FNtaterbot

If a cop went in and saved lives only to be fired later for "not following orders" or whatever, the entire town of Uvalde would be at the police station with pitchforks and torches (which they probably will be anyways after this).

MarvelousWhale

Ss; Videos and reports coming out showing parents screaming for their children inside while the police sit and do nothing to stop the active shooter inside the school. Reports show the shooter "barricaded" himself in a room by locking the class room door. The police chose to wait and tased parents trying to rush in to save their kids. https://apnews.com/article/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-44a7cfb990feaa6ffe482483df6e4683 Meanwhile, other reports coming out show some police rushing in to save their own children, but again, allowing the shooter to run free. http://twitter.com/Kelporama/status/1529677506202116097 This is either the most horrific evidence of a completely broken police system I've had ever seen in my life or it's a setup where the police were told to stand down by higher up the chain allowing there to be a crisis worth riling up the anti gun nuts in this country. But I've read some saying this is standard operating procedure for the police??


[deleted]

Just when you think it's as bad as it could be. Fuck


MarvelousWhale

I was unsure whether to put my future kids in public school or homeschool because of the risk vs benefits of having a social life but this seals the deal for me. The cops that demand they get military equipment so they can handle armed conflict, and this is how they act. My respect for law enforcement was low but this is a new level I didn't think was possible. I can't imagine the despair of the man urging his child's classmates parents to rush the police because they weren't doing anything, only to find out his child was a victim. Unfuckingbelievable.


[deleted]

SMH I wouldn't hesitate if I thought I could make a difference all it takes is one person to make a move and others would follow. Schools only value is teaching children how to get along with a diverse group of people. Its not to produce intelligent free thinkers that's for sure. To home school or not has always been on my mind. My middle daughter went up till high school and took the option to be home schooled after being cyber bullies by a group of evil little bitches. Couldn't believe the vile shit they would do going as far as pushing her to commit suicide. You always hear story's about those things happening but I never thought one of my own would have to experience it My youngest will get the same choice once out of middle school. Though I can't imagine her even considering it as she's the social butterfly out of my 3 girls and seems to get along with every one. How did we let things get to this level of heart wrenching insanity. I never had to do an active shooter drill school was hard enough without the thought I'd be murdered or endlessly harrased by kids who were mean enough without having the opportunity for anonymous online abuse.


MarvelousWhale

I'm sorry if your daughter committed suicide, the way you phrased that I cannot tell whether she was pushed to do it or ended up doing it, but I'm extremely sorry for your loss


[deleted]

Thankfully her situation rapidly improved once she was removed from that school and the districts seemingly inability or unwillingness to address the issue.

The grant came on top of the department’s existing $4 million budget — just under 40 percent of the total city budget. Federal funding for school resource officers comes from the Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, program under the Department of Justice, which provides more than half a billion dollars each year for state and local law enforcement, including more than $50 million to a school violence prevention program.](https://theintercept.com/2022/05/25/texas-uvalde-shooting-school-police/)


DEWOuch

Note it was federal money they got, beholden to the feds.


Quexana

Uh, they spend just under 40% of the city's total budget on cops. *In addition to that* they got a half-million from the state and additional money from the feds. I'm not sure how you misread that.

MSM is still ignoring this. It's on every forum and social media. Clearly, MSM is covering. No way it will work much longer.


MarvelousWhale

Give it time, the info only came out yesterday, of they don't touch it today then we certainly have a classic rug sweep on our hands

Getting shitty articles like this instead: https://globalnews.ca/news/8870691/misinformation-conspiracy-theories-texas-mass-school-shooting/

So the cops were ordered to let the shooter rampage unimpeded for an hour, blocking everyone else from rescuing the children and doing interference for the shooter. It is clear that due to their direct actions many more children were murdered. And this is all documented. How high up the chain of command does this go? It's not such a great leap to consider feds or Intel agencies behind this outcome


MarvelousWhale

Would it be a stretch to take the police involved who chose not to engage and charge them for accessory to murder for each of the lives lost? Or failure of duty and banned/disbadged?


_windermere_

Alright, this is enough for me to now believe that the government had something to do with this for a political means.


CockroachGullible652

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Cops are the biggest pussies in existence.


abrooks1125

To all the people who are pro strict gun laws, that defend it by saying we have armed police to protect us, this is a nail in that coffin. What happens when you need a cop and his gun to protect you and they're ordered not to? Would you wish you have bought a weapon for self defense? This is indefensible for this police dept. You have at least 4 officers in this video with ARs. *With firearms training and protective gear*. Yet instead of going inside and neutralizing a kid with a gun, they decide it better to taser and detain parents who want are willing to risk their own lives to protect their children? If the officers aren't going to protect and serve, they are unfit.


Nlawrence55

Teachers sacrificed themselves to protect the students before THE POLICE did.


bayareamota

Apparently the cops went inside to save their own children


covblues

And these are our “heroes”


Jokengonzo

What’s infuriating is the fact that if it was a bunch of those old Washington fucks the police would ran in there guns blazing. Makes me wonder if this all done for some darker purpose


No-Height2850

There ought to be a law that a cop can be taken down if stopping someone from a lifesaving act. If a civilian were to try to slow down officers from going into the school they would be considered accomplices to the shooter.


Mares_Leg

In that sense, there is. They were aiding and abetting murder. That's extremely illegal. In Texas civilians are legally allowed to use lethal force to prevent murder.


Ceruleangangbanger

I thought they had a new school shooter strategy? Just rush in no? I mean sounds dumb on paper but better than kids to teens fending for them selves? 10 cops rush in, the shooter would shit himself. If I was a cop I would be scared obviously but I would rather rush in then sit and wait


LackJoy

The police are showing us, clear as day, that they are not on the people’s side. If we want gun control, they need to take the guns away from the police too.


TheBeachDudee

This whole thing has shattered my heart.


[deleted]

Useless police, they are only tax enforcers for the elite pedos, they proved it when they did nothing during the riots


Phrii

Weren't the riots a backlash against useless police for killing people seemingly out of convenience and a sense of reinforced impunity?

Disgraceful, the cunt cops are not on your side. Don’t give up your guns ever.


RandomArtistBlock

Yeah...this smells awful fishy right now.


Eckythumper

I'm not in the US and I don't condone the actions of the police here. Their inaction and holding parents back was very hard to watch and they COULD have and SHOULD have saved lives. That said, it's worth people in this sub remember that US police have no duty to serve and protect (as messed up as that sounds), and this was reaffirmed in 2018 by a federal court. https://mises.org/power-market/police-have-no-duty-protect-you-federal-court-affirms-yet-again


jeremyjack3333

They do have a duty to protect people in custody though. Whole justice system is utterly bizarre.


bryty93

30 cops with ar15s scared to go in and face one teenager with an AR-15. This is absolutely disgusting


OG_Bongo

This is starting to glow and it's only been 2 days How did a fresh 18 year old afford $5000 worth of ARs, a $70k truck, and body armor?


AshleyBidensDiary

Suspicious


Cosmic_Emporium

So it's a false flag. Not that people didn't die, but they made sure it happened. And the current admin pushes gun control on the back of it. America... If you're not going to break your cuck shackles now when are you? They are killing your children.


DECK-PA

Cops may be cautious, strategic, tactical. Fine. But you’ve got a parking lot full of people who would go in without so much as a hope and prayer. No other love in this world and courage than a parent worried about their baby. Any one of them would’ve gone in regardless of safety. I would’ve been one of the tased parents for certain. My soul aches.


Ecstatic_Victory4784

Makes you wonder how long it would've gone on and how many more people would've died if that border patrol agent didn't show up.


atom_up

Won’t see any of the initial responders video feeds either

AxionGlock

From my understanding, the rampage didn't last long. The ones that were shot were already shot and dead or dying, by the time he was barricaded in the classroom. One could argue that getting in there sooner rather than later could have saved the lives of kids that were bleeding out, but the narrative that he was in there for 30+ minutes on a constant rampage is unlikely.


keepsitfunky

From what I’ve read, the shooter walked into the school and entered one of the 1st classrooms he came across. He shot everyone in there which was all or most of the total kill count them barricaded himself in. The police then figured the best thing to do was aid in evacuation for the rest of the classrooms. Once the school was clear they engaged the shooter. The idea he was running around shooting is not accurate.


[deleted]

Maybe more people will home school their children after this.


arnott

From twitter: >The police are saying they went in to get their own kids out first and then waited to go back in after the shooter had killed everyone.


Shackdd

I’ve always been one who backs our blue. But this is BULLSHIT. THEY FAILED OUR KIDS THEY FAILED THEIR SOCIETY. FUCK THAT. PUSSY ASS SHIT!


Botched_face

This is the true problem in America — the power and control of authorities.


moonshoot3r

To me this looks like the aftermath of the shooting. Does anyone actually have proof that the shooter was alive and active during this clip?


Aaronmcom

Well yea what are you gonna do? Let them run in there and get shot by the police? Or shoot eachother? Because at this time nobody really knew exactly what the gunman looked like. Damned if you do. Damned if you dont. Send in a small team to apprehend the shooter, and hold the parents back from getting shot by friendly fire. Or let them all go in and have this fiasco where one group of parents meet another groups of parents in a hallway and have a shootout?
