      Not defending those guys, but it was a clusterfuck of Biblical proportions more than a lack of courage or will. PBS has an awesome documentary on it. I can’t watch it twice.

        Well, certainly not “more than a lack of courage or will”, more like “in addition to a lack of courage or will”. Otherwise someone would have had the courage and the will, regardless of clusterfuck proportion.

          There was one mom who had the “courage & will” to go get her daughter, and the cops threatened to arrest her. Can’t have citizens being braver than the ENTIRE police force.

          I don’t understand why that town didn’t demand that the entire police force be fired, from the Police Chief all the way down. The next force would them know what is expected of them, since the first one didn’t umderstand that protecting the children is their highest priority.
