SWAT Team ‘Stood Down’ During Navy Yard Shooting, According to Report
"One of the first emergency response teams to arrive at the scene of the ongoing Washington Navy Yard shooting on Monday morning was ordered by superiors to “stand down,” according to a report by the BBC. “A tactical response team of the Capitol Police, a force that guards the US Capitol complex, was told to leave the scene by a supervisor instead of aiding municipal officers,” the report alleges."

What the heck is this and why were they told to "stand down?" For a more complete story once again we must go to the foreign press...

The BBC has a more compete article....

They were a fully armed swat team and they were told to stand down. Could they have saved lives? We will never know...

Obama seems to be working overtime "allowing" for gun incidents to take lots of lives hoping to turn the public against gun owners?

Far too many to be coincidence now I wonder?

Swat doesn't have authority over military installations, that is all there was too it. Military Police would have the authority to act (or their equivalent to swat)

Interesting though, I mean if people were drowning would they not help because of jurisdiction? People were dying, they could have acted and sorted it out later...

PS maybe we just have too many damned agencies and not enough direction?

They were told to stand down. Stay on track here. Why were they told to stand down? MP clearly didn't have it under control if it was a real incident at all. So, if it was a real incident then why would they tell someone to stand down?

So many redundant agencies and so many chief who are political appoints rather then the best person qualified for the job...

But on the plus side for dems each and everyone of them dues paying union members ready to vote to keep the perks flowing.

Interagency assistance is normal. Police from other jurisdictions are routinely called upon to assist during emergencies. It happens practically every time a serious incident occurs.

Here where I live A couple of years ago some guys robbed a bank and fired at officers who were chasing them. They fled into the woods on foot when they hit a road block. Within an hour there were officers from 3 counties and 5 cities there to assist in the manhunt.
