By the way, to all the tactical geniuses who claim "the cops could have just hidden behind their cars,"
1- WRONG. have you ver seen what an AK bullet will do to a car? I have. Unless you are directly behind the axle or engine block that bullet just keeps going.
2- Have you ever heard of the term "Active Shooter?" Post Columbine, the rules changed. Police used to secure the scene and wait for backup. Now, under the training for active shooter, you are SUPPOSED to engage ASAFP in order to minimize civilian casualties.
The fact is NONE OF US WERE THERE, so we we only have eyewitness accounts from the police, speculation, innuendo, hype, hyperbole, and gross exageration by the media to know what really happened.
