Shooting at Va. Tech
#33
ComeFlyWithMe Wrote:Only thing I witnessed from the phone video was 2 cops standing behind a tree and another behind a truck, they all just stand there until shots are firing, then the 3rd cop moves up, about 15 more shots go off and then they make forward movement. I would figure the police would have this place sealed off a long time ago since 2 hours previous someone was killed and the shooter was on the loose. You needed to have a total lock down and search of every building on the campus and a perimeter set up.

No, I don't have experience with this stuff, but my cousin is active Military Police and has to deal with this kind of stuff all the time, and through his 2 tours in Iraq. I have heard over and over how a situation like this is supposed to be handled.

Sorry if you guys feel differently, but I know that every building should have been searched within the hour of the shooting and this would have been prevented with a patrol of police roaming every building on campus for the rest of the day. It's not like they were in Virgie, KY where police would have taken a long time to respond, this could have been easily avoided but the wrong steps were taken.

And about not knowing how many shooters were in the building. I honestly feel that it doesn't matter, police are supposed to protect and serve, as soon as they felt a good amount of force was on hand, which should have been 30 minutes after a killing on a college campus, the entire campus should have been rushed with swat and police, you can see these police weren't just chasing someone down, they were armed and ready to take someone down, but ended up just carrying bodies out.
Considering they were talking to there only 'person of interest' (the man who witnesses said did the first shooting), they didn't feel the need to search the other buildings. And with I believe 2,600 acres and 100's of buildings, that is easier said then done.

This was a tragedy, but was it handled in the right way? As of now, to me it seems. Police never rush into a building that has gun fire coming out of it. Maybe a SWAT team with full body armor, but not a normal patrol man. Find out information about anything similar, I don't believe that the first responders swarmed the building immediately.
