Police officer fired for failing to act during Las Vegas shooting.

Stayed in middle of hallway on floor below shooter for five minutes then went into stairwell and stayed there for at least 15 minutes ( video ran out of memory ) while shooter fired away. Was with three “security” guards and a rookie officer for company.

Union trying to get him reinstated.

Happened October 2017.
Fired officer who hestitated during Las Vegas shooting reinstated

Back in March. Got lost among all the commie flu articles.

It wouldn't have to be if you are shooting at a mass targart, like a bunch of people herded together for a concert.

I read the time from the first shot to SWAT taking the room was 12 and I have read 90 minutes.
Perp was there for 3 days and now 5 days.

WHY DOES THE TIMELINE KEEP CHANGING? If this was an interrogation, the suspect (government) would be really screwed on their credibility!!!!!
Because different reporters have talked to different people who may or may not have been actual witnesses to what happened. Take a car accident with two drivers and three witness. Ask them all for statements. You will get six different stories, if you're lucky they will have some points in common. Really, if all the early reports came out with the same, non-conflicting info, that would be much more indicative of something funny going on.

People's recollection of hard numerical data, like passage of time and numbers of anything are really not very good, especially under stress. It will take watching lots of video tape, recorded radio and 911 calls, and the like to pin down a reliable time line.
