Great point. What I don't get is why the cops aren't communicating any info like we have people inside calm down please nothing. Just taser drawn get back get back. They could of comforted these parents and what did this video show them doing?
In the opening moments of the video you can hear someone say "we are taking care of it." From body language of many of the parents (dads, I am assuming) they are agitated and looking as if about to lash out. It also looks as if two people have been subdued already before the person started to record. The officer with the tazer drawn is covering his fellow officers, as would happen when ANYONE is subdued, to prevent an attack behind.
We are taking care of it also can mean that, yes, we have back up on the way, and we're still going to be protecting the shooter and jacking off until then.
I guarantee the parents are livid because of the inaction. If they knew police were competent and immediately were in the building, there would still be worry, stress and concern but it would not be the anger directed at the police as in the video.
You may be right. Like I said, I was playing devil's advocate. And trying to see the situation of what are cops supposed to do in this situation. Remove emotions, when viewed from a strictly procedural veiw (from what I SEE in the video), these officers acted in accordance with their training. I am making low level assumptions based on what I know of how emergency responders are trained and the information I can garner from the video.

As long as someone was already hunting those guys are clear.
Ahhh...you are absolutely correct.
Sounds like these cops should be investigated as accessories.
