So right...
Larry Nelson's speech would strike a chord with the police I know around here:
"Columbus Police Officer Larry Nelson spoke slowly, pausing to make eye contact with those sitting in front of him and punching the air with a finger on every few words to make it perfectly clear that everyone should pay attention.
"The average law enforcement response time to an active shooting event is three minutes," he said. "For three minutes, you are your own first responders. Nobody's coming to save you in those three minutes so you better have a plan to keep yourself alive. Whatever you do, do something. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Ask yourself right now, not then, 'What will I do when confronted?'"

As the saying goes, When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.
I don't recall the decision by name but I do recall that the courts have stated that the police have no duty to protect individuals.
- which makes all the BS the various governments throw at the People appear that the government preferably wants you dead.
Lions and tigers and bears oh my. Even they have a right of self-defense of life and liberty and they don't have to kowtow to some lowlife worthless government employee in order to exercise their Rights. Too bad the SC hasn't a pair of balls among them to stand up and say that no government has the authority to blanket ban Arms. State governments can legitimately exercise police powers while all the federal police powers, outside the 6 granted, all illegitimate and unconstitutional. No implied, no plenary, no inherent, no unwritten powers. The SC lies.
That's the AVERAGE. Half take less time, half take LONGER....
Do you feel lucky?
...If you're not packing, you'd best be begging and pleading while hiding harder and pretending this can't be happening to you and yours'.
Normalcy bias is the biggest danger in any disaster. "It will be OK" often means "die in place". One good book about this phenomenon is "The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why" by Amanda Ripley
Deshaney v. Winnebago County and Castle Rock v. Gonzalez.
Gracias.
That's not average, that's just mean.
...You're correct, but the mean can be quite cruel and the average, quite mean.
I went to an active shooter response class and the Sheriff told the attendees the average response time from first receiving the call to actually getting in the building was ten minutes.
