“But I disagree with them being called cowards.”
Fine. Give me another word then and we can discuss it.

Lurker, Ken H posted that you are referring to those officers who did not go in and were standing around for an hour. Because the article title was specific to those officers who did go in to get their own kids, it is they I thought you were referring to and thus made the comment.
If you were in fact referring to those who waited, I will withdraw my comment and apologize for misinterpreting your post.
