Yes. Standing by idly was one thing. But to further complicate it by restraining those who were willing to face the demon was utterly reprehensible. I mean, I understand their mindset. Prevent further loss of life that might also make their jobs harder with more hostages. But the fact that they made no real effort to actually do the job, at least in my mind, means they have no right to prevent others who are willing to do their jobs from doing it. Do the damn job or let somebody else try.Hopefully if no duty to protect is confirmed the court will at least establish that police cannot prevent citizens from protecting their own. If it’s not their jobs to protect then neither is it their jobs to hinder self/family preservation.
And no disrespect meant to any LEOs present.
