sucks but not many would want to take a pistol and light armor <if any> to a rifle fight.
While it's despicable to me that's the way they are trained today. In a shooting situation don't go in alone, wait for backup. Why do you think there are so many times SWAT is called out on a supposed barricaded person.
Actually, I don't think that's right. AFAIK, the modern way of considering these situations is that you enter immediately, with whatever you have on hand. The armed, trained LEO can put pressure on a spree shooter that causes them to abandon their plans. They may get shot, run away, or suicide but merely the act of bringing force to bear instantly is generally considered to be enough to break up the dynamic at work and save lives.that's the way they are trained today.

only cops should have guns LOL

I may be wrong, of course. If an experienced LEO trainer with up-to-date knowledge is reading this, please feel free to jump in.
