Nothing illustrates that fact more than this incident. Even at code blue, lights and sirens, they took 11 minutes to get there. I'm sure that they put their vest on and grabbed their shotgun before heading down the road so figure a couple of minutes for preparation. But still, unless posted on site, it takes time to get there.
Our town has an average ten minutes and change for a code three response. Safety officer at a more rural HS near my house was told by county sheriff that it could be up to twenty minutes to get first LEO on scene if they called... BTW, my house is covered by same sheriffs dept. So myself, my neighbors, we are basically on our own. We are ready.
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.
