The more dead innocents, the better...

..at least, as far as some people very high up are concerned:

On Wednesday, BBC News reported the indefensible discovery that the D.C. Capitol Police’s SWAT team was ready to neutralize the Navy Yard mass shooting.

But, the highly trained and heavily armed, elite tactical group was, instead, ordered to stand down and leave the scene.  The Capitol Police promised a full investigation.

Today, BBC News reported more disturbing information.  No one has talked to the SWAT team members.  Not even for the protocol debriefing.  But, not only have members of the SWAT team not been contacted, the department “has installed a new leader”.  Without explanation.

Now, I'm not saying that anyone would want this maniac to kill as many people as possible in order to, oh, I don't know, say...further another push for gun control victim disarmament.  I mean, that would be just crazy talk. 

No, I'm certain there's a perfectly non-sinister explanation of these events, which we'll be given right about...never.
