Not sure the police learned that lesson in Orlando. If the police had just poured into the night club right away how much worse could it have been? As it was the guy was able to take his time and kill 49 people at his own speed
Three hours of murder, terror and mayhem while our armored overlords cowered outside in their Kevlar and ballistic helmets.
Number of civilians killed and injured - 103. Number of police injured - 1 when a round (probably from another cop) bounced off his Kevlar helmet.
