Reply to comment by DelRMi05 in Nashville kids write notes to officers who ran into The Covenant School shooting by Due-Reading6335

The way my instructors explained it is that you, "stop the killing, so you can stop the dying. Get your ass in there and take them out."

Exactly. I can barely keep My composure when you saw the bloated out body of a child in a pink jacket on the body cam, but in that situation you are specifically instructed to ignore casualties and eliminate the threat. It makes sense, it man that's got to weigh on you mentally. The responding officers did their job. Although we really shouldn't be in this situation to begin with.
