Fucking amazing. Someone needs prosecuted here.
So many of the cops did show up immediately, did enter while the shooting was happening, Omar retreated to a bathroom… they had enough to storm that resteomm, and higher up said… don’t.
They then either waited till Swat showed up (somewhat sensible, but still should of just stormed the place before that) or told to retreat, Swat would be there soon (insane, don’t give up any ground. Take up positions if you want behind cover).
I’m not buying this “I have a suicide vest” crap… it wasn’t exactly like he was showing any concern for people prior, he was completely surrounded, his best way out as a martyr suicide bomber would of been just to blow just as he got holed up. I don’t think he was walking around with multiple suicide vests while doing all this shit, and if he was, all the more reason to rush him while talking on the phone.
How the Fuck do you convince a SWAT Team to sit around that much death and carnage, and get them to keep still. “Hold your position, we are negotiating on the phone” is utterly meaningless when you gotta sit around for three hours, listening to people groaning to death around you… and if they really believed this cocksucker had bombs, punching holes in the walls was one of the more retarded directions to go.
I like how in the link, the Orlando police chief tried writing everything off… his head needs to be a priority on the chopping block, damn SOB. Yeah, maybe a cop or two might of gotten shot, or a victim or two, but this situation already went terribly, terribly south as it was. You can’t expect this guy to play fair, he fully intends to kill others, save as many as you can by putting a fucking bullet in his sick head. Collateral damage, but those people are already dead… it is how many you save in the end that matters.
I’m still amazed at the nerve to punch holes in the walls… you care more about the cops than the hostages. How about just smoking the ventilation vent to the restroom, or a flashbang borrowed from a local national guard base? Far fucking less than 3 hours, if your playing it safe…
Hope this police chief goes to jail.
