It's not mutually exclusive.
The cop should have gone in. Even his boss said so.
AND we need real change and improvements.
SIDE NOTE: It *does* highlight the mistake of basing gun reform initiatives on a particular incident, or on high-profile mass shootings in general. Often many who want it will fall into that trap. The rank-and-file, day-to-day, serial-domestic-abuser-kills-wife-after-multiple-arrests-but-still-got-to-keep-his-gun type stuff seems to fly completely under the radar. I don't know the numbers, but I tend to suspect that the high-publicity mass-shootings that these efforts focus on make up a tiny fraction of the fairly-easy-to-reduce-with-reasonable-compromises gun violence in America.
