The raw and brutal truth of this post brought me to tears....for the children, but also for the officers who couldn't bring themselves to do what they were trained to do to save the innocents. Evil has this way of bringing out what the author has described....the best and the worst in people. I cannot cast the first stone. The one who propped the door open, the ones who didn't storm the classroom. the one who failed to order them to go in...their actions will bring untold shame and lasting consequences to them and their families for a long time. But for every officer who didn't charge the classroom there are thousands around the country who put their lives on the line every day, instictively. Pulling people from burning cars, engaging people who have them outgunned, stopping cars without knowing what kind of situation they will encounter inside that car, etc and I refuse to let this situation stigmatize the men and women in police work as a group. Most of us could not do what they do.... all day, every day...to keep our country from chaos.
