Still seems like the police response was incredibly delayed though, it's insane that journalists were able to get high resolution photos of the gunmen before police arrived on the scene

It took police 4/5 minutes to arrive. I wouldn’t say that’s delayed. They aren’t everywhere at all times.

They had loads of civilians running around so they can’t just start shooting. They have to put some plan in place, especially as this isn’t a common occurrence in Australia.

They also had to try deal with baying crowd once the shooters were down. I get the crowd are angry/upset but the police were right to push them back, you never know if the shooters had explosives on them.

Unsure why people are coming for the police, when it’s the shooters people should be annoyed at.
