re: Released body camera footage shows cops stood outside Vegas gunman's door in fear

Him blaring in against automatic fire and who knows how many shooters like Rambo with a girl on her second day and 2 security guards likely only ends with 4 more deaths and no one there to contain the guy. It’s an absolutely awful situation.

Even one person distracting the shooter would have saved lives on the ground. The officer swore an oath to defend the state against enemies foreign and domestic. His inaction resulted in more lives lost. You can bet your arse if 3-4 people would have distracted the shooter, more than 4 lives would have been saved.

We have a choice...are we going to be a society that protects, shields, and apologizes for cowardice in the face of duty or are we going to be a society that doesnt put up with cowardice from those whose paid job it is to protect the public.

There is a social contract the people have made with the government: we wont carry guns around to defend ourselves BUT the government must provide a reasonable amount of protection in return. A government who refuses to be accountable for its end of this social contract but enforces the restrictions on the public is tyrannical.
