Those are old incidents and tactics have changed. Leo's have had to "evolve" to work these type of events. Look at all the active shooters that are now stopped in a quick time period.

But then what does this have to do with a chl holder running off a aggressive pandhandler :smilelol5:

I think the timeline involved.
I've been fortunate in either being lucky or ugly enough never to have been through this. I've been harassed by homeless people at the bus stop before. Only one got surly and I started shouting at him and he went away. Evidently he must have thought I was crazier then he was. :headscratch

I take that back. I did see a homeless guy shouting at people on the street downtown here some years ago. He got in the face of a woman near some horse cops (downtown Houston). One of the officers cantered over. The horse lumbered into him and sent him skidding. That was both effective and entertaining.

They felt neither at Columbine, Luby's, McDonald's, Virginia Tech......
Now you've totally lost me. I have no clue what you are implying.

Your question was are the Police morally or legally required to act, and my comment eluded to the fact that at the mass shootings of Columbine High School (for over an hour and a half), the Luby's cafeteria in Texas, the McDonalds in California, at Virginia Tech and so on, the Police did not enter the building until the shooting stopped. They formed a defensive position outside the building and waited. They were under no legal or moral obligation to intervene in the shooting.

.
Really? I just thought they didn't get there in time. is this verified? If so... :eek6
