The thing is, federal generally allows locals to lead. Legal issues aside, if what you are told is the situation is under control, you don't just take the reins and roll into a situation. This was such a goatf*** that I could see it taking time for people to figure out what a goatf*** it was and deciding it was time to take the football away from the monkey. Think about it, at least from my perspective, you'd think everything that has been blasted in the thread would have happened, you are now perimeter and in 'get aid into the school mode'. Some time later, you find out it's not a cold zone yet and it's still hot, when it shouldn't be. I guess I need to sit through the video again and note when secondary people show up, I'd like to hear what they say to the responding agents/officers. You guys have no idea how hard that video is for me to watch, there's a real possibility if I didn't retire, I could have been detailed there.
There won't be body cam of the assault, my hunch anyway. The Patrol doesn't wear body cams. Every one they've tried to deploy can't take the abuse, and they've tried pretty much every brand on the market. That's not a urban police job, it's out in the field, think putting cameras on every infantryman in the Army, in a combat zone. Maybe someone had a test camera on, I could very well be wrong, I've been gone almost a year at this point.
