While your police don’t have a legal obligation to protect citizens, they DO have an obligation to enforce the law. By standing idly by while children were being murdered, they failed in that obligation.
So, your contention that the police are not obligated to ‘DO ANYTHING’ is bollocks. If they’re not obligated to ‘do anything’, why do they write traffic citations, arrest drunk drivers, catch muggers, respond to domestic violence calls, etc?

Sorry it offends your sensibilities.
But the fact remains - the SCOTUS has multiple rulings that say that police are not obligated to put themselves in harms way to protect your life.
The man who whacked the monster was motivated because his wife and daughter were in there.....
Which leads to the reality - it takes motivation.....who is going to be more motivated than someone who is in the fire zone?
A teacher with a gun would have a better chance than one without.
Um... Jacob Albarado didn't actually kill the shooter. He even did an interview where he clarified he didn't actually kill him.
Granted, he did evacuate the classrooms in the wing where his daughter was, which I think we can all agree is extremely badass in its own right given that there was an active shooter in the school (and, of course, the fact that he was trained as a border patrol officer helped a lot), but the evidence suggests that it was BORTAC, the tactical team (which did not include Albarado) that took out Salvador Ramos.
