When he did they waited three hours to maximise the carnage.

I'm certainly no believer in conspiracy theories, but the fact that a large group of heavily armed police stood around outside for hours and did nothing really doesn't make sense.

How could they just stand there and do nothing, knowing that there were severely injured people inside, and a gunman still killing people?

I don't buy the supposed argument that it would be dangerous to enter, or that the police had any reason to wait. Armed civilians, and I would hope our police have the courage to run into a dangerous situation and drag out the wounded. We expect our soldiers and Marines to do that, and they do it when facing far more dangerous situations.

Personally, I can't believe that some of the veterans serving in the police department in Orlando didn't do just that. Here in New Hampshire, faced with wounded officers in a fierce firefight with a drug dealer, a young officer charged back in, firing as he went - just like he had done as a Marine in Fallujah - and got the wounded to safety.

We've got the liberal Democrats saying we don't need firearms to defend ourselves, but then the armed police stand around for 3 hours and do nothing. If that is their response to terrorism, then they should stay at the station and just let ordinary armed citizens do what they can.

Of course standing around and doing nothing is pretty much what our government has done about a lot of issues related to Islamic terrorism.

What is standard procedure if you have intelligence that he may be wearing some type of explosive device? Not saying that’s what happened but do you send a small group in first in that case or not risk anyone or what?
