Does that excuse the police on scene for refusing to enter the classroom? If anything it makes them look worse.
Maybe they didn't have proper PPE available in the moment? Asking a cop to jump into this room with the heavily armed shooter without high-quality bullet-proof gear and helmets and so on, would basically amount to demanding that he jumps into his certain death.
Oooor they were scared that the shooter has a hand grenade or a bomb vest and blows the whole room up, including all of his hostages.
This might be a case of cowardice in the face of the enemy or whatever you wanna call it, but we can't know for sure. You guys are jumping to conclusions way too quickly because of your penchant for blaming cops for everything that goes wrong.
