As far as the actions of the police and delaying a confrontation, this assuredly has something to do with new protocols being put in place. It's one of those things, where if you put a bunch of restrictions for safety reasons that prevent officers from acting, eventually you're going to run into a situation where you would have wanted them to act but they can't.
Who knows, maybe I'm way off here, but I have a hard time believing that every single officer who arrived on the scene was just too afraid to act earlier.
There's also likely no right answer here either, as we've all scene the horrific outcomes that occur when officers take the law into their own hands too.
