Navy Yard Shooting: SWAT Team Ordered to ‘Stand Down’

20 posts, not one of you has stated the local LEO's have no authority on federal military reservations...
yes they can be called...but...they need permission and chaperones to conduct any activity on post/base/field/ship.

Are you kidding me, these guys are just a local leo unit, covering government employees and congressman only? That IS a waste of money. Doesn't sound true though Pip.
"
The Containment and Emergency Response Team (CERT), is highly trained and equipped with the best gear on the market. The team consists of four men and is responsible for safeguarding the Capitol complex.

The specialty unit is the department’s elite tactical team assigned with the task of “dealing with the rise in terrorist actives being directed at the US and its citizens,” according to the SpecWarNet.net.

“Since there won’t be time to call for assistance in the event a terrorist is ever able to execute an attack against the Capitol, their [CERT] primary mission consists of rescuing Congressional members, their staff, and visitors who have been taken hostage by terrorists."

That is an incorrect assumption. Actually 2 incorrect assumptions.

I do believe the Navy Yard stand down, and it was davest that questioned the stand down.

Hope that clears things up.

Thanks for the apology.
