Today I'm feeling great respect for these 51 police officers and imaging how horrific that night must have been. What probably started out as a low risk country and western concert attended by only 22,000 fans by these officers looking to pick up a little extra $$$ in overtime instantly turned into a one-sided horrific battlefield rife with panic and confusion.

This link below was shared last night and is worth a read because it contains some of the communications. It puts a lot of context toward the high level of chaos these officers were suddenly facing. I think sometimes it's easy to look back in judgement but taking everything into account, I think they were heroic in their battle against the unknown at the time, just my opinion.
