Great article. I'm surprised it hasn't generated more comments here. Cops suffered from a similar syndrome for years. Even after Columbine we were told to wait for 4 cops to be there before going in. Do you know how long it could take for 4 cops to get to a scene in the suburbs? Suffice it to say it'll all be over before they get there. The theory now (or at least when I retired) was that the first guy there goes in and tries to neutralize the bad guy. Novel idea, eh. Good guy with gun, body armor, etc goes after the bad guy, just like we swore an oath to do. Not to say someone is going to be reckless but standing around waiting while people are dying is crazy.
