Orlando Shooter...Did you know in first 10 mins LE had him trapped in bathroom, told to stand down, exit, and wait for SWAT
Did you know officers entered the nightclub and had the suspect trapped in the bathroom in the opening minutes of the shooting but we're told to stand down and wait for SWAT?

During an active shooter scenario, police respond with what is known as "active rescue." The first 4 to 5 officers that arrive on scene will enter as a team (contact team). Their purpose is to stop the threat. This is the answer to Columbine. More lives are lost due to waiting for SWAT to arrive, so they enter to stop the threat. Here is what one of the first officers on scene said:



‘I grabbed my assault rifle and ran’: An officer’s account of the critical early minutes in Orlando

After an initial burst of fire between Omar Mateen and a security guard at the Pulse nightclub, a group of five or six police officers arrived on the scene within minutes, broke through a large glass window and entered the club as the killing of 49 people was underway inside, according to a Belle Isle, Fla., police officer who was among the first responders.

Officer Brandon Cornwell, 25, said the ad-hoc team spent the first seconds in the dimly lit club “trying to locate exactly where the shooter was — we kept hearing people scream and shots fired.”

He and the other officers followed the sounds to the bathroom area, where Mateen was now holed up. But instead of entering the bathroom, the officers aimed their assault rifles toward the area and were told by commanders to hold their position as the sounds of gunfire stopped, according to Cornwell. And so they waited “15 or 20 minutes — could’ve been longer” — until the SWAT team arrived, he said. Cornwell never saw Mateen.

Cornwell’s account is the first by a police officer who went inside the club during the first critical moments of the shooting. The FBI said Monday that police first responders “engaged the shooter” inside the club at 2:08 a.m., but Cornwell’s account raises questions about whether gunfire was actually exchanged, why first responders were told not to pursue Mateen into the bathroom, and whether any SWAT or other officers entered the club once the first responders retreated.

So here is the big question...why on earth did the commanders stop them from going after him and then why did they wait so long to end it???

They had him trapped.

Figured the collateral was already dead in the bathroom.

Officer safety.

Probably told to engage only if shooter left bathroom.

Otherwise waited for flashbangs and ballistic shields in CQC.

Re: Orlando Shooter...Did you know in first 10 mins LE had him trapped in bathroom, told to stand down, exit, and wait for SWAT
Yep. I knew something was up when the ordeal lasted 3 hours and 10 mintues. The shooter took a bathroom break and a 20 minute dinner break while the cops waited out side.

The 3 hr + almost beat the time Princess Diana in an abulance before they took a 6 min ride to the hospital.

What does this prove?

Something is fishy right off the bat. The supposed shooter was updating his fakebook page/twitter and took many rest breaks.

 Quoting: Luxen


I have been trained in active rescue.
1. Never assume "they are already dead"
2. Until the threat has ended, officer safety is not a concern or a reason to sit and wait. You rely on techniques and training for officer safety
3. Whole point of active rescue is you do NOT wait, you enter and end the threat, that is it.

These are the lessons learned from Columbine, you do not wait, you end the threat. This is so that people do not bleed out waiting, you end the threat.

These "Swat Teams" are useless in most cases. Complete waste of money, time and effort. Relying on them is pure insanity. They should disband all of them. Train every police officer for these type situations.

IF in-fact Mateen was trapped in bathroom with alot of people, how the fuc**ty fu*k did the people video record them selves sitting in one stall--supposedly 12 of them in ONE stall? And IF Mateen was in the bathroom with them, why are they all so fckn calm? Do we even know IF he shot anyone IN the bathroom?

Ive been searching, but have not found any funeral(s) info. IF 49 people died, dont you guys think we should be able to find at least one funeral notice-somewhere...???
BTW-just yesterday the local news in NYC briefly mentioned there was a funeral/memorial service in Bed-Sty Brooklyn for one of the victims, but it did not have a reporter there, and it did not say the dead persons name. I wonder why....

Re: Orlando Shooter...Did you know in first 10 mins LE had him trapped in bathroom, told to stand down, exit, and wait for SWAT
newsflash, logician: the Columbine conspiracy pile of people are SWAT these days, or at least, a few of them. Saw them running in a reality TV show in a major metropolitan city, promoting heroism.

So, hm, waiting for former shooting massacre actors possibly playing SWAT to go follow up on another shooting actor.....

yes that's insanity doing the same thing over and over again expecting something different.

I think at least one of the two Mateens (yes, it's just like some other shootings, how could there be two of them? there were, based on faulty publicity, again.) was some sort of an informant for police, hence the hesitation.

There were 2 omars, and while the first one did a lot of shooting, the second omar was the one that called in the 911 call, and also hid in the bathroom, and then also came out again and shot the first one, then he gets hidden out by his conspiring friends to run off.

I also think there could me mixed messages. Like, it was blamed on the omars, but they were the victims, that the shooter was someone else entirely.

I think the bigger omar went into the bathroom first earlier in the evening. He's a con artist. He's not Omar though, they did a friend of the Bureau a favor, I think. I think that he psyched up the other guy to shoot, knew the timing when the second guy (selfie omar) was going to go in, and there might have been a plan for more people than that, but maybe up to 2 others didn't follow through.

I also think that there was rehearsal either a week or a day before the event, on a non-crowded day. Up to two weeks before, big omar drew up the plan to entice the others, so they'd get hung up in a trap, and he'd walk away with their shared bank account. That's the formula for those sorts of guys, 5 years promise, 6th year lies, with toy soldiers and lost boys.

Waiting for SWAT was a legal technicality, based on number of injured, and potential for loss of officers. It's not more lives lost. Say you put 20 cops in a room with a shooter and you lose 10 of them and they're shooting everywhere. That's not less lives lost to add more cops, it's more lives, because cop lives are part of that measure. SWAT is better insured, and mentally prepared for confronting flying bullets, unlike cops that have to protect themselves first. A cop is 20 second, a SWAT is 8 seconds.
