    Right because that can all be excused away with “policy issues” that leave nobody actually accountable and spits in the face of common sense. “I didn’t try to take down the shooter because I didn’t have anyone to tell me that’s why we were there in the first place”

      You’re talking about people who worship authority. Critical thinkers and independent personalities are not welcomed or tolerated in law enforcement or the military. These people literally need to be told what to think, and what to do.

      I’m not saying that it was a good excuse, just that it was used.

      IIRC, they even had a shooter drill prior to the massacre, but that obviously didn’t help.
