The 19 cops outside of that classroom were S.W.A.T, a specialized unit that has been militarized since 9/11. A few of them were also reported to be border control, another militarized unit. There is no apologizing for the police here. It wasn't better. There were children calling 911 in that classroom as that officer made that decision. Body armor isn't magic, which is why he was shot after border patrol eventually ignored the order to not enter the classroom. The lengths people go to apologize for police. Sigh. |
The footage they showed in Australia was just regular cops, 5 of them that was it when they were stopping parents.
They made it sound like the SWAT team come in later.
