Question on Orlando and Paradigm Shift

So, much in the same way that 9/11 caused a sea change in the way a hijacking is handled, (before=stay calm, cooperate w/hijackers vs now= let's roll! Take 'em down now!) will the experience of Orlando cause SWAT/First Responders to act quicker, since shooter was able to take his sweet ol' time killing folks since they gave him a 3-hour window?

And one wonders about the choice of Pulse as a extremely soft target...
There wasn't going to be much of a resistance given the clientele.
Wonder how he'd have fared hitting a honky tonk or a hip hop club...

Based on other news reports of past shootings at hip-hop type clubs, I would strongly suspect there would be a hail of gunfire from the patrons back at the shooter.


None of the rounds would hit the shooter; 3 bystanders shot, treated and released.


And nobody there saw anything...
