What I can tell you is that there were a whole host of parents ready to barge into the building, that were being arrested by the cops who were sitting outside like fucking cowards while children were being murdered. |
This is an emotional take. There were officers in the building at the barricaded door, naturally some of them are ordered to keep their distance and secure the area. It doesn't make them cowards.
Now if the cops inside the school had the means to break the door or knew there was a key but decided not to, then they are cowards despite being ordered to wait for tactical breach. I think there was ~20 officers inside and I find it hard to believe all of them froze. It's kind of an instinct to help childern in danger.
More information is needed before making conclusions though. Right now this seems like a total failure if leadership and the guy in charge should be held responsible.
