As one local Woman said, these were Mexican Men who handled this exactely as they would have in Mexico...let the shooter finish his shooting, then rush in and claim victory...There is a cultural factor here.
This is completely accurate.
The Cops in Mex are so underpaid that they absolutely will not put themselves in danger. And they are very open about it.
There was a hostage standoff in Juarez last year, the Cops on scene just left and went home.
Said it was the military's job to do these things.
On Easter of this year a massive slaughter of people happened by a cartel. They were targeting a police Captain that had recently arrested a high-ranking cartel member. They slaughtered 40 people on Easter morning.
The Cops didn't even show up to the scene for over 2 hours. The Mex National Guard had to handle it.
