They also placed themselves defensively at the door with the intent to protect the other students if the attacker came through the door. If true, it is nice to know that goodness can still be found even in situations like this.

I bet he's a detective. They can just eat donuts and sit on their asses while they solve things.

A lot of police officers recoil at the donut-eating stereotype. They go for bagels and cream cheese instead.
But yeah, he looks a little volume-challenged for a cop.

Back in my EMT days (mid 1980s) there was a fair amount of truth about cops hanging out in donut shops. But there was a reason for that.
At 3 or 4 in the morning, the only food place open on Providence's Eastside was the local Dunkin' Donuts, so that's the place the cops went for "lunch" (the mid-shift meal is always "lunch", no matter the time of day). And the DD did give the cops free coffee and donuts - that's why no one ever held up a DD at 3 a.m. - cheapest security system ever.
The free coffee rarely extended to EMTs, except if we were sitting there talking to a cop we knew; I guess at that point it was hard to refuse one uniform sitting next to another.
