Yep, when they close the streets down, they get REALLY SAFE!!!

I'm going to go out on a limb and play armchair quarterback for a sec...

Calls come in saying there is a man with a gun on a roof.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Have any shots been fired?"
"I didn't hear any shots."
"Okay, we'll send a policeman to check it out".

Officer: "We got some calls that there is a man on the roof of your building with a gun".

"Oh yea, it's a pellet gun. He's trying to scare off some pigeons".

Case closed, instead of downtown. Who knows, it might have worked.

You present a logical, rational scenario of what should have happened.

Instead, liberal bureaucrats were in charge...and everything fell apart.

Then the idiots pat themselves on the back for a job well done! I guess when you sent your own standards for success...

Rather too logical for a moon-bat. Especially as I find it hard to believe that the receptionist/security guard at the front desk did not ask some pointed questions about the gun.
