Hopefully the police officers who told you they won't enter a dangerous situation until the shooting stops are never called to a mass casualty shooting with an active shooter. Thankfully most police officers will enter a dangerous situation to try and neutralize the threat and save innocent lives.

Like most citizens I always understood the role of our police force was to protect and serve. I hope one court ruling doesn't prove us wrong. Otherwise, why would we even need the police? If it's each of our responsibility to mete out justice as we each feel fit, how is that different from anarchy?
