Why didnt they call for backup when they realized a situation existed?
In my neighborhood, when I call the police, they show up within a very short time. I would say less then 3 minutes In the Miami area, Im certain that if a law enforcement agent called for backup there would be at least 10 cars converging on the scene.
I wasnt there and dont know the cirumstances. However, I do know that when one calls the police in most urban areas, they will show up within a few minutes.
Also, the destructive effects of a rifle are well known. If they knew they were going to face rifle toting bad guys, why did they not have the right gear accessible. If it was in the back seat or in the trunk, then thats unacceptable. Any soldier out of basic training knows that there is only one place for your rifle or pistol and thats always within an arm's reach away. A weapon that is locked in the trunk is just as good as having no weapon at all.
So its clear to me that they were not well prepared and believed they could face the situation themselves when back-up units were clearly warranted.
