"someone was going to die, so the question came down to who."

First, that's not true. Reports seems to show that law enforcement had body armor. It would be surprising if they didn't. As such, death of one or more officers was hardly guaranteed if they took action sooner.

And it is cowardice to answer that question by letting children be the ones to die while protecting yourself when YOU'RE A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER who has to receive weapons training before becoming an officer and have continuing training in the same.

The parents were willing to die to save their kids and law enforcement appears to have prevented them from doing so. That's not only cowardice, it's cruel.
