Reply #60: Campus police????? [View All]

Check out your heroic "Kampus Kops," wandering around yelling at students, waiting for the REAL police to show up while Cho has a half hour to go about killing people in Norris Hall. All the campus police did was set up a perimeter to make sure no one got into the building to stop the killer.

Watch the cell phone video of the last three minutes. Note carefully the urgency and sense of mission displayed by the UNIFORMED CAMPUS POLICE. The stalwart campus cops are milling about with no apparent sense of direction or urgency waiting for the "real" police and occasionally yelling at students to "Get away." Remember, this is hours after Cho shot the students in the dorm room. He left campus to mail his manifesto to NBC news. Then he came back, dressed in "de rigueur" black trenchcoat and backpack, like he came from central casting, and walked past the campus constabulary unnoticed.

The "blast" you hear is the SWAT team breaching the door. Faced with an armed response Cho killed himself before the REAL police even got to him. Had the campus police entered the building instead of waiting for the city to send REAL cops from town how many might have been saved?

It is not much of an exaggeration to say that you had as much impact on what happened there as those campus cops did.
