2.3 miles away. At the stately speed of 60mph, that should take a few seconds more than 2 minutes. At cop speed (double the speed limit + 10) that drive should have taken a bit over a minute.
No matter what they say, even if sitting in a restauraunt when the call came in, there should have been effective fire on the bad guy inside of 4 minutes, 5 tops. 11 is inexcusable.
11 minutes is also a red herring. That is the time of a cop arriving, calling for swat, sneaking close, and watching the retard until he shot himself. Police action didn’t impede or stop his rampage in any way. Thats just just a fact.
When I patrolled in the late 80s I once literally ran from the dinner table and was out of the parking lot with lights and siren in probably 15 seconds after getting the dispatch of a child in trouble in the water;luckily other older children had already got the victim out during the couple minutes it took to get there.He had suffered a seizure while swimming.He recovered.
Or there was the time the house window blew out right beside me as I hammered the door of the burning home,at THAT point I abandoned the effort because no one could have survived the inferno inside.Turned out,no one was home,not even the pet dogs which were usually inside.
I fear today’s officers are TOO risk-averse and too indoctrinated in PC.
