...officers stood about waiting, they must have heard the shots of the kids being murdered yet they did nothing. Our cops would have been in like Flynn, disgusting cowardice. The commander should be prosecuted.

Worse than that.
Parents who arrived at the school were prevented from rescuing their children, by the same Police who stood about and watched as the gunman murdered their kids.

I am sorry for the parents and the dead children
This is believable as it happened in Hungerford
see wiki
remembered for the first police report beginning - went the day well.
it was rewritten by public demand

AND Bataclan - wrong model fitted to the facts. Isolate and surround and wait ( hostage situation)
oops no it was a massacre situation
and the shift to the correct model ( go in immediately) was slowly accepted

and Gombedoodah ( ok arredondo) said it was because he didnt wish to risk police lives - - something that made the GMP ADORE James Anderton - and frack the public

and a mistake made at the Arena - [walk around saying oo there is a wandering shoota, so we cant do narfin]

and constant themes. Arredondo thought it was aceptable to wait for a SWAT. Mistakes not corrected, help refused

and no one thought to disobey the order ( unlike the less recognised and under rewarded Dr Daly at the Arena. of whom Ld Kerslake said - " when I heard of what he did, I thought it was absolutely the wrong thing and now I have heard the evidence I can see it was absolutely the right thing to do" - first said by Lord Thurlow of plain JOhn Smith later Lord ELdon LC )

In fact boys and girls the preferred model has changed from
dont isolate and wait and negotiate..... to
go in and kill 'em all....

( trigger should be one shot - go in)

where is the gormless - and take yer pardners for a day-ance
that we come to expect - nay demand - nay extract from TTT

Lessons will be learned.

I'm baffled that Arredondo didn't know he was in charge. Either they're incredibly sloppy with their chains of command or he's incompetent.
