Why did it take so long for police to finally engage the Orlando shooter?

I'm not trying to flame or anything, but I would like an honest real answer because i have been wondering. From what I have heard the shooter was finally dead three hours after he first begin his reign of terror. Why did this take so long?
Is there certain police protocol and their safety since they were outgunned. Why couldnt officers just jump in there when shots are constantly going off and bodies are falling...
Maybe someone here involved in law enforcement or something of this nature can help me. Again, I'm not in no way flaming Orlando PD in anyway, I just want to know reasons

Theycan't just bust in there without assessing the situation first

Police were attempting negotiating, buying time.

He had possible hostages

For one, he told them he had bombs that he was strapping to hostages

had to make sure it was an act of Christian gun violence and not Islamic terrorism

He locked himself in a bathroom with hostages and said he had a bomb

There was a guy standing in front of the door

It would have taken a lot of courage and initiative for one or two officers to enter the building, perhaps through another entrance. And a lot of luck to get to the guy. That didn't happen.

>>they were outgunned
The local SWAT team was definitely not outgunned, they were armed better than the murderer. But you don't want to charge into a bomb spraying nails either.
Reports are that they were also worried about booby traps. Apparently there were indications that the perp might have placed explosives specifically to stop LEO from charging in to save the day.

Why not take a few minutes and do a little research before getting on a chat board and asking questions?

The bar was a gun free zone, can't just run in there melting the barrels

Otherwise how could they have connected him to Islamic terrorism and ISIS?
Law enforcement is smarter than you give them credit for.

Because Obama planned it that way.

An awful thought, but were anyone else shot by the police while trying to shoot the gunman? It seems like with him having hostages and so many shots going off, it would be impossible to not shoot others in the process of killing the gunman.

I just can't see how he shot 100 people without being ambushed by the 300 other people in there. It has to be chaotic with all the running.

Did the shooter kill the security guard in the first exchange of gunfire? I read the linked NYT article but it did not mention if the security person there was killed. I have to assume he was if the rampage continued.

Because it was a false flag operation.

I got some inside information yesterday on this. OPD is in hot water over their delay. They thought that the shooter had a bomb and itvwascan ambush. While they were gathering Intel and planning, many of the victims bled out. There will be a lot of controversy in the future but, the media is keeping it quiet for now.
