But are you telling me that while these "Anabaptists" believe that it is immoral to defend themselves in a situation like this, they also believe that it is perfectly acceptable to call the police to come and offer to do the defending that they themselves are not willing to do?

Anabaptists are radical pacifists. They do not fight, they leave.

But do they believe in calling in the police to do their fighting for them?

I wouldn't call the Amish pacifists, they have a forgiving heart.. Just as the Bible teaches all of us should have.
If the man who shot the children had the same forgiving heart this never would have happened.
Perhaps if our country would go back to the teachings of Jesus a lot of bad things wouldn't happen out of revenge.
