The police look to be untrained.

You just can't hand guns to people never used one before and expect them to shoot stuff that are shooting back.

 

Actually I would expect anyone and everyone with a gun to shoot at someone who is shooting at them..that's just basic self-preservation.

 

I'm not going to post some of the other pictures as they are pretty gruesome, but there are several from this same photographer that basically show a large train station littered with bodies and blood from the slaughter that took place.  I simply don't consider inaction to be a valid response to that for anyone with the ability to do something, there is no legitimate rationalization, trained or untrained. 

I've been in a life and death situation, and I've recieved shrapnel wounds from an explosion that I ran towards knowing full well it was going to go off in order to save another person's life.    I cannot fathom standing by as people are slaughtered by the dozen while I have the ability to do something.  Perhaps others can, but that, and the rationalization of that, is something I cannot understand and frankly never want to.

 

Shooting alone (since it doesn't look like the other cops will help) against a group of terrorists who seems to have an amazing skil at shooting doesn't sound like self-preservation to me.

Being the police, the guys really should have done something, but i don't blame them, i blame whoever trained these idiots, because with no training and knowing that you'll probably shoot alone and maybe make the terrorists even more agressive, better hide.
