Slightly tangential to your post TW, but how any cop would be against gun restrictions and reform, limiting or outlawing access to military grade weapons is beyond me. Police unions should be completely on board with such laws to protect their members.
There is no excuse for the cowardice and incompetence shown in this mass shooting, but more generally, it is somewhat understandable that cops have hair triggers, assuming everyone has or is about to pull a gun considering there are so damn many of them in our country. At the very least, you'd think every cop would want to restrict access to high powered, high capacity weapons that potentially put them all at much greater risk.
