Getting shot at is scary. Really scary. Especially when others are dying. If it hasn’t happened to you, don’t judge. You have no idea how you’ll react. [More]

Getting shot at is PART OF THE JOB if you’re a cop. If you can’t handle that reality then QUIT.
ALL of the cops who just stood around with their thumb up their ass while kids died need to be
fired, arrested and face charges for dereliction of duty.
About 400 cops showed up and stood around.
Fire every one and make sure none can ever work as cop again, anywhere.
Of course not one of them had any particular obligation to protect, defend, or haul anyone out of danger.
There’s a certain amount of sense in what the commenters above have said.
Yet I’ll rely on a piece of wisdom I picked up from a college friend who had spent more than his required time “in the boonies” of I Corps with Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children.
IIRC, we were looking at a picture of him in the back country in his “point” attire: jungle jacket and pants with the sleeves and legs below the knee cut off, NVA issue sandals, 1911A1 in a shoulder rig, two bando’s of 12 gauge buck rounds for the M97 trench gun across his shoulders, a beat to hell boonie hat, and the 1000 meter stare that sees you but doesn’t really notice you.
During that conversation about his life “in the Corps” he said he learned to stay away from the new guys who hadn’t been shot at….. yet. He said you could depend on them to jump and do something, but you never knew which way or what.

As with most things in life, YMMV.
Qualified Impunity!
