What sort of SWAT team waits 3 hours to go in knowing there's dozens of casualties bleeding to death?

From my understanding, the reason for waiting to make entry was due to two things,
1. It turned from an active shooter situation to a hostage situation.
and
2. The shooter claimed he had explosives and would detonate them.

It is not a leftist plot. There is a reasoning behind that.
"Islamic terrorism, Islamic terroris, Islamic terrorism"

Looks like a big jealous micro-management effort.
What are they so afraid of ?
Looks like they are experts and you and I are not.

The Chief of Police said they DID go in instantly upon arrival, but they were around in other areas getting people out.
... but that doesn't mean the place wasn't covered in cops. It was, but doing different things.
After Columbine, this Chief said all law enforcement agencies were retrained to go in at once, which is what they did. They were dealing with getting people out, while SWAT was negotiating with the shooter, and of course figuring out the best way to get him.

Other terrorist organizations have names. Unless you want us to refer to them as 'the terrorist group formerly known as ISIL" and use a symbol.
I believe witnesses have described the shooter.
Not the media,well,maybe in the US. But using ISIS to refer to the muslim terrorists was coined by some western heads of state who only use ISIS.... "Islamic State In Syria". ISIL....."Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant".
