I read your other comment which said "at least that guy went in there" when referring to the kid who died because they responded to the officer's call for help. The officer didn't go in. The officer yelled in from outside, "does anyone need help". Then someone responded to that, and got shot. It takes no courage to realize that is idiotic.

Also, it's their fucking job. Yes, it's scary, but if they're unwilling to protect the people that they took their job to protect, they shouldn't have that job. And it's not like they're too scared. Cops with children retrieved their children. Seems like they're only scared when they don't have any personal stakes. These cops also far outgunned the shooter. Their excuse was that they didn't know it was an active shooter situation which is especially ridiculous when you consider that there were gunshots while the cops were there.

Ok, let's say they really can't do it. Why did they stop parents from going in and getting their children when they weren't going to protect them?

I have no sympathy for coward police officers. I couldn't charge into an active shooter situation which is why I won't become a police officer. I'm not saying they should charge in without planning, but that they should treat the situation as something which needs to be resolved urgently.
