I know how big it is...but still 2600 acres is huge...he cant get off the campus by the time cops show up...I just dont see why they didnt start moving out allover the place to find this guy? Maybe they did and the amount of police who showed up just werent enough to cover the ground...

but still....2 hrs later is bad...either way, I dunno, im just upset with whats happened, so im talking out my ass. I know theyre doing their best over there and they should all be commended period.

Yeah. Hindsight is 20/20. With everything happening so fast, I imagine it was hard to make sure every place is covered and all that. Plus, they had to wait on other officers to get there. Probably pretty much chaos everywhere.

From what limited information I have from the TV, it looks like the police did the best they could.
