    Of course the problem was that there weren't MORE heavily armed good guys, including heavily armed teachers, custodians, and lunch ladies.

    Llamas are good, but they don't use guns. Their hoofs can't work the trigger.

    Jolly ol' Dolly is a Llama. A hoofed good guy that can't work a gun.

    No changing diapers nor reason to own a gun? So, being hoofed isn't a handicap; it's an asset.

    I'd guess two things were in play. First, the police were simply afraid of being shot.

    Second, there's a sort of paralysis when a group is hit with the need to make a quick decision, and no one will risk it. I saw that happen while fighting wildfires.

    100% agree! That and video games, too.
    I wonder which came first, my pacifism or my preference for b/w comedies of the '20s-'40s. The only violent movies I've ever been into were the Bruce Lee/Sonny Chiba/Jackie Chan/Kurosawa martial arts movies...which didn't have guns. The gangster, war, and crime movies I watch the most of are pre-1960, when the violence was implied or brief. Up to the age of 20, males (I can't speak for females) want to emulate their silver-screen heros. That's why I developed a Groucho-like sense of humor (and without a laughing delivery).
