(53,785 posts)and tanks they could use to break through a barricade one guy put up in one classroom? How strong could a hastily put up barricade with whatever is in a classroom be?
One guy v hundreds of cops, sheriff deputies, FBI, troopers etc...sounds like hesitancy to me.

(53,785 posts)Some male parents who were there wanted to rush in because the cops would. And some women witnesses right there were yelling for the cops to go in but they wouldn't.
Cops have SWAT teams, battering rams, helmets, tanks, hundred were there against one guy whatever barricade he put up with classroom materials and they hesitated and the guy kept killing his captives.
Come on, all of that is in evidence.
