Trump: Las Vegas Shooting In Many Ways A Miracle Due To Police Response

20. Imagine this

You are one of say 10 cops at the event. Uniformed cops. Security out numbers LE but they are not cops and cannot communicate with police, they have their own channels . off duty cops with no radio.

You have a mass hysteria event on your hands. Bodies falling, and fences and exits overwhelmed. It spills out onto LV Blvd.

You have to deal with the wounded. People are dying in your arms. You have to call for backup, which is a ways away. SWAT teams need to be assembled. Traffic needs to be managed. All this takes a while to make happen. In the meantime, at the site, you need to manage traffic, see that emergency vehicles have access, and see too it that people aren't trampled, before backup arrives. All this while you are under fire. And while your at it, find the shooter, somewhere out of one of the 10,000 windows facing the event from ten high rise hotels.

Then backup, SWAT, traffic arrives, the site needs to be managed. In, out. Find the shooter, deploy to MB. Not a short drive to the building from LV Blvd. Then elevator. Never fast enough.

That's a lot to ask. It could have been a real problem in regards to mass hysteria, but that didn't happen.
