An armed, veteran police officer stood idle for several minutes last October as the Las Vegas gunman slaughtered dozens of concertgoers from a perch one floor up, and now that cop's actions -- and inaction -- are being reviewed by the Metropolitan Police Department.
quote:
Video footage showed Hendrex leading a police trainee and three Mandalay Bay security guards to the sounds of gunfire coming from the hotel’s 32nd floor, where Stephen Paddock set up his sniper post, but not confronting the shooter.
quote:
The video footage, captured by the body camera of Las Vegas Officer Elif Varsin, then shows the group standing in the hallway for about two minutes before taking refuge in a stairwell heading up to the 32nd floor for around 15 minutes, at which point the clip ends.

Were they armed with a service pistol?

I'd like to call them cowards but honestly, I can't say I wouldn't do the same.
That a-hole was firing hundreds of rounds from multiple guns. The cops are just humans.

Well, he did have a rifle pointed at the door from the side. Was definitely ready to ambush the cops

If you aren’t a hero, don’t wear the badge!

One more thing you need to think about, where are these people trained?? Did they get training or a one day seminar. Did they get in because they knew someone??? Most of these guys know somebody and they get hired. We are a little bedroom community, we got a lot of Police but half of them are related and the half knew someone!!
great comment that easily relates to BR/DS/Surrounding areas

Part of me says stack up on the door and kill that mother fricker. Another part says that I can’t really pass judgment since I have no idea how I would have responded to that. But when you are trusted with the protection of others, you fricking go.

Did Broward send them their best?

And Eugene O'Donnell, a former New York City cop and now instructor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said “we have to be realistic."
"Police officers are civilians with guns,” he told the Associated Press. “The notion that they can spring into action and take on a mass murderer who is running up the body count is probably something you can't ask."
Hmm...

Was there any loathing?

Police are not here to protect you
They are there to write reports, stop speeders and investigate the aftermath of crimes
You are your families defense. There is no one to protect you

If you cant take the heat, take off the uniform!

How do we know that the shooter didn’t have any explosives strapped to the door? Maybe waiting for back up? The thoughts running through that mans head as he heard wha was basically a nested machine guy as he looked at his tiny pistol..... “well I’m fricked”
