GOB,

Good post for not being coherent. The only thing I disagree with is that I have heard the police did not enter immediately upon arriving on the scene. That is, officers arrived and waited for back up. Honestly, if there is gunfire, I think it is the officer's duty to get into the fray, whether it is one officer, two, five, or twenty, so that the officer can do whatever he/she can to save any lives of unarmed civilians. That is my only issue. If the evidence shows that the first officer arriving on the scene entered the building and tried to confront the shooter, then I think everything was handled correctly. If the evidence shows that the first officer came upon the scene and waited for backup, then I think there is a serious problem. If 2 or more officers were waiting for backup, the problem is even worse. They are the ones that are allowed to carry guns. They are the ones we none carrying people rely on. When the officers are scared for their own lives when they come upon a gun fight, there is a serious problem, especially since they have the firepower and the training, whereas the students were mere sheep, with the exception of the kids that baracaded the door and the professor that sacrificed his life to save his students by baracading a door with his body.

Ultimately, the perp should have died with 10 LEO bullets in him, not with one from his own gun. Then again, if he had 10 LEO bullets in him there would probably be a lawsuit like the one in New York where 4 black men were shot up pretty good and they weren't even armed. Trust in law enforcement is getting much worse.

Violence is just too prevalent in today's society. Probably has something to do with TV, video games, and media reporting.
