Video Shows Cops Waiting In Hallway During Las Vegas Shooting

Via TCJ Western correspondent Ned Weatherby, this sad, sorry tale.
Newly released body camera footage shows Las Vegas police officers pausing for several minutes in the hallway of the Mandalay Bay hotel — as mass shooter Stephen Paddock guns down 58 people on the floor directly above them.
“Holy sh-t that’s rapid fire,” officer Cordell Hendrex utters in the chilling video, reacting to Paddock’s gunfire — which he later described as “like thunder all around and above us,” according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The officer and his first-day trainee, Elif Varsin, stayed on the 31st floor for four-and-a-half minutes, even as they heard the shooter’s position reported as “the 32nd floor, room 135.”
“I’m inside the Mandalay Bay on the 31st floor,” Hendrex says in the video. “I can hear the automatic fire coming from one floor ahead, one floor above us.”
In a report, he later wrote that he “froze right there in the middle of the hall” after being terrified.
Eh, whether it’s a column or patrol car in Florida or hotel floor in Las Vegas, I’m just glad the cops had something to hide behind and that they went home safely at the end of their shift. Officer safety first, of course.
And if things like this don’t dissuade you from the belief that the cops are there to protect and defend you, then you believe in fairy tales, myths and children’s story books.

Same behavior in Parkland and Orlando club shootings. Hold in a safe zone and await orders. The actions are not accidental. They are to preserve the responders lives at the expense of the civilians.

It’s all about the pension and the attention and has nothing to do with protection.

The so-called “official narrative” of the Las Vegas shootings stinks to high heaven. This latest thread of evidence just reaffirms that the official account amounts to so much horse manure. Our betters – those who would rule us – do not believe that we the people are entitled to know the truth, and therefore, they don’t feel duty-bound to tell the truth to us.

Or to prevent local LE personnel from interfering with ongoing false flag ops being mounted by the powers-that-be. Numerous fed.gov three-letter agencies have become expert over the last half-century at toppling foreign governments, deposing uncooperative national leaders, and assassinating trouble-makers.
Having polished and perfected those skills elsewhere, what is to prevent them from employing them on U.S. soil, and against the U.S. population?
Recall that, a few years back during Obama’s second term, buried in the back pages of an annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by both Houses of Congress, was language authorizing agencies of the U.S. government, for the first time in our history, to create and disseminate propaganda directed against U.S. citizens.
In politics, nothing happens by accident. Why would such language be written into a bill if fed.gov did not intend to use it in some manner?
