GOOD! If those Cops DIDNT have all that Gear then they would just WAIT OUTSIDE if there was ever a School Shooter MURDERING all the Children inside!

I get what you are doing here but I think you are misled. The police has a monopoly on violence to protect the state apparatus and the ruling class. Protecting normal citizens is a means to an end of that, it never was the goal. The US police originated in a force that brought back run away slaves. Are we talking about run away slaves? Is there private property at risk? Is the school shooter threatened any organ of the state? So why bother? TLDR ACAB

There were enough cops there to make two companies of troops.

More than enough to restrain all the parents who tried to break in and end the killing

It was their duty to rush in there and have 4-5 of them get shot to stop it and they valued themselves over civilian lives. Idgaf what the supreme court says their duty is. Fuck 'em.
