The very capable sounding SanBern police spokesman, was proud that they were at the site in 2 mins .... Carnage happens in less than 2 minutes. The cops did the best they could, under the circumstances, IMO.

They probably did do the best they could under the circumstances. The whole point is that most circumstances do not give them time to respond in a meaningful manner, so the best protection comes from the potential victims themselves.

Yes, granted.

I have never had the mindset that a cop will save me from anything.
