It looks like the cops are coming clean. Admitting they were wrong.

They are saying, Wrong decision to wait to breach the door. It's on MSNBC.

1. Their PR and legal team must have told them continued lying only hurts them?

[exboyfil]

2. Finally reached that point

Also afraid the police station might get burned tonight. I might be getting the Molotov cocktails ready if it had been one of my kids.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Yep. Trying to save their skins by coughing up the truth.

Even parents who did not have kids in that school want to throw something at these coward cops.

7. They would just stand around in their Army surplus paramilitary gear

and watch that unfold too.

9. That depends. If you look like you are WITHOUT an AR 15, they'll be beating the shit out of you

within seconds.

[Lancero]

10. Oh no, they'll rush in. Gotta go save them donuts.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Wearing their big ass cowboy hats.

If it were not so tragic I would be laughing at them.

[Nay]

11. They are coughing up the truth because there are too damn many videos out there

proving what craven liars they have been. Plus their lawyers may have told them they could go to jail for lying (but not for doing nothing to save those kids).

3. While at the same time blaming a teacher for leaving the door open.

And not answering questions about where the SRO was during this time.

[pinkstarburst]

16. Devil's advocate

Police are at fault for their complete failure to respond appropriately to the active shooter.

As a former teacher, if someone left an exterior door propped or unlocked... they shouldn't have done that. It's a security issue. Or if the janitor or assistant principal was responsible for locking those doors in the morning after drop-off and didn't, maybe it was just a mistake. But it's a security issue that should be examined. We used to forget to lock exterior doors sometimes in the morning. It had to be done manually and so it was easy to forget with a lot of kids, attendance to take, papers to turn in and pass out and the SRO would come around and sweep campus and if he found your door unlocked, he would chew you out and report you to the AP. I used to get annoyed. In hindsight, he was trying to keep us safe.

Big picture, maybe it wouldn't have mattered and the shooter would have gotten into the school another way. But I think it's fair to examine what happened honestly. Maybe it helps to make another campus safer, or as safe as it can be in a country where we won't regulate gun ownership.

4. Better give them some more money so they can do better next time.

15. Charming

I suppose it's a skill to find the appropriate responses to someone losing their kid. But even if your unskilled at that, you don't have to be a heartless bastard.

[Wingus Dingus]

8. In retrospect, we should have mustered the courage and did our jobs.

Gee guys, ya think?

12. The crisis management team hired by their insurance company has arrived.

[BlueCheeseAgain]

14. We need to ask politicians, police, and voters this:

Should any person be allowed to obtain a weapon so deadly that 20 fully armed police need an hour to figure out to confront him?
