Look, I am trying to be respectful of you, your knowledge base, and how hard you worked to earn that green tag. However, your responses have shown a misinformation as to the realities and protocols for active shooter responses. If you honestly believe I would rather have innocent citizens bleeding out than to be rescued then you insult me. Instead, I am going to take it as you are frustrated at the lack of information and the lack of what you perceive should be done.
As I said earlier, when responding to an active shooter, the first units on scene are typically trained to engage the active shooter and neutralize him, or contain him. Medical support is not given until the scene is secured, or a way to protect the medics presents itself. This is why firefighters and EMTs stage outside of the danger zone and don't rush in. If possible, follow up officers will arrive and form up as medical teams to provide aid to fallen citizens. Was this procedure followed to the letter? Probably not as each situation is different and can become very fluid. I am smart enough to know that I don't know the exact way it should have been handled because I wasn't there and I wasn't in command. Likely, if there was a 3 hour delay for a breach it could be explained as incompetence, delay in getting SWAT into position, politics, negotiations, casualty evacuation, or the fickle finger of murphy fate. There are basic principals for dealing with an active shooter that are nationwide. Each jurisdiction is free to modify their protocols as they see fit for their areas of responsibility.
Let me ask you this. Would you be happier if the cops rushed in under fire and ignored the threat to provide aid? I doubt it. A lot of good it would do to have several first responders go down from being sloppy and adding to the already chaotic scene. Civilian policing/action is different from typical battlefield engagements. You can sit here and Monday morning quarterback what took place (without knowing damn all what happened) all you like. The fact remains that you have no idea what happened, what should have occurred, or why certain decisions were made. If the cops fucked up, they will likely be brought to account. I am not justifying anything that was or was not done that night. However, your posturing and blustering rings of a 15 year old in his basement trying to say what he would do. No offense, but if you're mad about what happened then I share your anger and frustration. Otherwise you are just talking shit about fellow brothers and sisters (yours and mine) that ran to the sound of the guns. Which is all we can hope to do in a fucked up situation such as what happened that night.
