My first thought was "well I sure wouldn't have wanted to go in there either", but then I remembered I'm just a random dude and not a trained officer whose job it is to do exactly that. Yeah it would suck knowing your life could potentially end in a minute or 2 but I mean that's literally the dude's job and what he is trained for.

Honest question: is that what he is trained to do? Or is that more of a SWAT type of deal?

That is definitely a SWAT type deal, but if it was me, I’d like to think I could at least pop some shots at the fricker. I could die, but I could die during a traffic stop. Risk of death is part of the job.

In this day and age people,civilians to first responders and LEO, are expecting mass shootings and aware of how quickly they go down and how critical each second is regarding lives taken or saved. We've seen citizens spring to action to prevent further deaths several times.

An officer aware as he was of what was happening should have stormed the room to stop the shooting. He knew damned well of the carnage that psycho was causing down below.

What really sucks about that video is the guard who's visible is clearly ready to roll into that room but the coward cop is leading/holding them back. I imagine he's dealt with some with guilt over this.
