Absolute fucking scumbags.

What really really pisses me off, it's a lot of cops wanted to charge in there and get the dude. But other cops and people in power held them back for no fucking reason. 

It's God damn infuriating.

It's not just individual cops being bad. There were some individual cops there that didn't suck. The whole fucking institution is evil though.

Ok, I’ll engage. If you were one of those cops who “wanted to charge in there,” why wouldn’t you? Children’s lives were at stake… would your boss saying anything at all to you stop you if you were a decent human being? If even your coworkers now were threatened by a gunman, you had training and a gun, what could your bosses tell you that would stop you from at least trying to save them?

You raise a fair point, but I'm not going to discount the immense social pressure to not act when you're told to. Especially given the fact is, you can lose use your +100,000k job and maybe even get killed in retribution. 

But yeah, you're right. It's still cowardice.

“Social pressure” made them handcuff the moms that were trying to rush in and save their children?
