Reflection - " Oregon Rancher Standoff"

During the Oregon rancher standoff, a militia of ex military men captures and seized a wildlife center. This center was very important because there are very important artifacts and fossils. These artifacts and fossils are important because they could tell us so many things that could better our understandings of the past. There was a shoot out with the police when the police finally wanted to do something. At least 1 person was killed and everyone else was apprehended and sent to prison. 

My opinion on this whole standoff is that,  why did it take 41 days for the police to finally do something? This whole thing could have been avoided if they automatically tried to stop them. I first heard about this standoff because of the racial views people were saying about it. They were saying the only reason why the cops never did anything right away was because they were white. But if they were black, the whole police force and some back up would stop the whole operation down in less than an hour.
