Now as an LEO riddle me this, ever wonder WHY the authorities will NOT release the documents relating to the Columbine shooting????
If what I've been told is true a few more need to go to jail or at least be relieved of duty.

I don't know what I'm talking about in regard to what? I know the pres isn't going to cut the "dogs of war" loose on every situation.... my point was, depending on the actions/methods of the terrorists, there may not be time for the dogs of war to even get their boots on before it is over and done with.
If one, five, or ten people go into a school, shopping mall, or daycare and begin actively shooting children, we (Local LE) are the only ones that are close enough to intervene. By the time Tier One assets are called out, it is too late. It doesn't matter if the shooters are sexually repressed HS kids or Pakistani born, Koran memorizing zealots.... it would be over (one way or another) before you could get there.
Was Columbine a clusterf#ck? From what I know, yes. Have we (LE) learned from that as a community and changed damned near everything from the ground up? Yup. Columbine was a first for us (LE), and we have had to adjust and adapt....
If we have some type of Russian Elementary school hostage scenario here in the US, then hell yes, call in the big dogs. Like I said earlier, I don't think you will get any objections from the LE crowd. We'll hold the perimeter and you guys handle it. I am all for it. ..... but if there is active shooting going on, there isn't time to wait.
