I'm actually curious if you read the transcript yourself - where in it does it say people only died at 5.13am? More-over, it doesn't detail that ANYBODY was down except the shooter, so maybe I am to believe noone actually died, and Pulse doesn't actually exist at all? #pulsepiracy
So the transcript doesn't even have a 5.13am time-stamp, and yet this judge somehow pulls that out of thin air? In fact, an early responding cop inside Pulse says that all he could hear was shots being continually fired and people screaming, even while he was inside. They then cornered the shooter in the bathroom but had to hold position as regular cops are not trained in hostage rescue, and may end up causing more harm than good. Was that the case here? Perhaps not, but we know that only now after it has all happened. During these situations where there are potential hostages, you need people trained to deal with that situation.
The active shooter likely had 10 minutes+ to do that much damage. That is a lot of time when you have 300+ people to shoot at. Even with them in the club, it took them "several" minutes to locate the shooter. The lights were still down, likely because people were more concerned about getting out than turning on the lights. The police actually note that there were bodies everywhere while they were keeping the shooting holed up. So, if they entered the club at 2.08am. and claim that bodies were everywhere, we can safely assume a few of them were dead at that point. But of course we will trust a judge who wasn't there, over the 'yes-man' cops who were.
So, now I ask, why believe a judge who's making up time-stamps on a transcript that does not say anything like what he is claiming it does? Perhaps he wants fame? Seems likely. Why are you not questioning his motive? Why are you believing his version of a transcript that does not exist?
Do you know why they might be keeping the 911 calls mostly hidden, because inquiry. While investigations are conducted, it is standard practice to keep things like this out of the public domain until the investigators can piece together what happened (same reason why you don't discuss trials outside of the courtroom).
Another important fact is that Omar had been engaged BEFORE heading into the club, but the uniformed cop had to call for back up before heading in after him. Remember that the cop wouldn't know beforehand that he would become an active shooter, but also couldnt risk storming in after Omar for the safety of those in the club, had it been a hostage situation. So Omar didn't sneak his weapons in, he was engaged outside and just walked in.
But you know all this right?
And further, the Orlando Police Chief even states that some victims may have been from fire from SWAT team members, but it would be hard to say at this point. Omar had taken hostages in the bathroom, and SWATs directive was to ensure there safety. It took 3+ hours for them to decide how to try extract them as safely as possible and they had to be cautious as Omar claimed they had explosive vests on. The time taken was also used to extract as many people out of the club who were still in there, and they needed that time to ensure a bomb did not go off and hurt those they were capable of saving. If there were still 50+ people in the club, down, but able to be moved while things were calm, why push your luck and trigger a bomb that could cause more lives to be lost?
When they breached, 8 or 9 officers engaged as the shooter emerged from the hole. 8 or 9. They shoot 5-10 shots each and you easily have 100 rounds fired in <10 seconds.
But hey, let's trust a judge who makes things up from a transcript that does not echo his sentiments.
