To be clear, it has since come out that the shooter wasn't actually wearing body armor. If the initial confrontation with the police had involved them actually detaining him, there would only be one adult victim, the shooter's grandmother. The one fucking time it is permissible for a cop to actually draw and use a gun, they decide to sacrifice the lives of over a dozen children and their teachers because they are fucking rat bastard cowards that don't have the integrity of their own slimy steak and donut shits.
Cops typically don't like firing guns at people who might conceivably fire back. It's like rule number one that they always have to survive every interaction, and that includes knowing when to retreat / "tactically observing and assessing the situation"

Unless it's an unarmed black man in a car that also happens to contain a gun
They're lying about body armor because they want to ban it along with a gun control push. That's it, it's all agenda driven.
