[Trust but Verify]

Someone asked how the cops knew the doors were chained? I DIDN’T SAY ANYONE SAID they tried the doors, but that is a LOGICAL assumption! How else would they know the doors were chained? Someone had to have tried the dorrs or they may have been told by a student that the doors were chained. It really makes no difference, but I see you have concluded that all the cops are incompetent or cowards, and I reject that.

I DIDN’T SAY ANYONE SAID they tried the doors

Yes, but you said it yourself. The following is a direct quote of yours from maybe 20 or 30 minutes ago:

Maybe because when they tried the doors, they couldn’t open them? CHAINED doors would be evident, even from the outside.

Since when does "when they tried the doors" mean anything other than that they tried the doors?

Sorry, need some comic relief!

Have you ever tried to enter a double metal door on any building...for example a movie theater?

They only open from the interior. THAT'S the type of door that hindered the police from entering that door.

Once they did break through..they encountered the chained doors to the 2nd floor.
