What stops the clock -- a vehicle stopping at the reported address, or actual contact with the person placing the 911 call -- or contact with the assailant? Or even "control" of the "situation" (i.e., no one remains at risk, needed assistance has been rendered, etc.)?<br /><br />Two minutes from the time a patrol car hears the alert until arriving at the theater isn't the same time that elapsed from when the shooting started until it was stopped.<br /><br />I am sure getting the "two minutes" time into the media avoids some finger pointing about response times. But fiddling the statistics to avoid criticism doesn't go far toward evaluating what the citizen on the street can expect to observe. I just hope that in this case, two minutes was the time from the <em>start</em> of the call for help, until officers entered the building.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-39870908506125764062012-07-21T15:46:15.063-04:002012-07-21T15:46:15.063-04:00In Colorado, the "No Weapons" signs in t...In Colorado, the "No Weapons" signs in the theater means that management can ask you to leave if they determine you are carrying a weapon, and you may be arrested for trespassing if you do not leave on the request of management.<br /><br />So, do not open carry. Carry concealed - very concealed. Keep your fingers dry and grease free. Do not buy the soda, candy and popcorn. You wouldn't want your fingers to slip when needed.<br /><br />As you can observe, the under two minute response time by Aurora Police once they were contacted was not much help for the 12 killed and 71 wounded, but may have helped the rest of the people in the area. A lot can and did happen in that two minutes.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-33727896347472179542012-07-20T21:56:48.837-04:002012-07-20T21:56:48.837-04:00Hope you enjoyed your visit to the West.Hope you enjoyed your visit to the West.Adrian Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966665618865037355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-64145549315403147962012-07-20T19:43:20.856-04:002012-07-20T19:43:20.856-04:00Glad you're back okay, and Aurora is truly sad...Glad you're back okay, and Aurora is truly sad...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-23579329848632151982012-07-20T16:25:17.688-04:002012-07-20T16:25:17.688-04:00Tam, a thought for when you wake up...
