They didn't take "forever" to get into the school. They literally stood there while the kids were screaming in agony and fear. There's literal footage of them standing around talking, where it's literally got subtitles to mention "Sounds of children screaming have been edited out." They literally stood there listening to babies die, while they were kitted to the nines, and there was an ENTIRE GROUP OF THEM. A LARGE GROUP. They let children be sacrificed on the altar of their cowardice. So yeah, people absolutely need to know about that. The reason no one's talking about this is because it was a clean shoot and there wasn't controversy. And this? Is the outlier. We have more cops who do bad and are cowards than good officers, by a mile.

He experienced an adrenalin dump when he heard the initial gunshots. Then, against his natural instincts to avoid danger, he didn't walk, he ran towards the threat. That caused another adrenaline dump. He may as well have had an elephant on his back as to have that much adrenalin in his system and still keep moving forward after more than a minute or two. Adrenaline is an instant stimulant, too much for too long has an opposite effect. No amount of physical or tactical training could prepare a person to do better than he did.

This officer is a legit hero - if you haven't been to the south east you have no idea how hot an humid it can be and running in full gear with a heavy rifle is definitely no joke. To do that under pressure alone on foot is a huge feat the camera may not show. God bless every legit badass officer like this unnamed Angel.

One thing i noticed was when he yells "GET OFF THE AIR!" at 5:03 the comms go silent, because he's trying to focus and listen to the shots from the shooter. And since he is the one who had the knowledge on the situation and is engaging the shooter, he is in command of the operation.

[@CCM1199]

I think this officer has done some time in the military based on a couple of things. the mere fact that he ran in on foot not to give his position way and to listen on where the fire is coming from is one. range and direction of target engagement for him. The second was the exceptional weapon discipline he had right before he neutralized the target. We conduct reflexive fire training and always have to manipulate the safety on our weapon systems. He took it off safe, fired 3 slow rounds, went back into cover putting it in safe. Then came out of cover flipped the selector switch back to fire and rapidly fired 3 rounds. once he was done he put that weapon back on safe. For those that say his vest is heavy, its not. Hes wearing a IIIa Vest which has little weight to it. however his duty belt is where all that weight is. be glad that hes is not wearing level IV plates. I carried level IV plates on 4 deployments and those are heavy (front, back and side plates all 1 inch thick). He was running on pure adrenaline and even with everything hes done, he was calm under pressure. I commend him for neutralizing the hostile threat and I hope that he is awarded for his bravery. outstanding
