    I asked this earlier, but do we have any idea if this was gross incompetence, gross cowardice, or they wanted it to happen? How do you note that the gunman is on the roof for 20 minutes, have another officer from local PD back down when he has a gun pointed at him and still they do nothing

      Normal people usually hesitate to kill. Is only a tiny mentally and morally abhorrent minority that would have resorted to violence fast enough to stop this. And we already have way too many of these monstrous hair trigger psychopaths running around already. A couple dead presidents is a small price to pay not to incentivize such psychotic behaviour.
