Chances are if everything worked out and they disobeyed orders they would be hero's and no problem. If one little thing went wrong and a kid was hit by a cop or any other bad thing, they would be fired and lose their pension anyhow. It seems insane that they would be fired now for following orders. The commander and the chief perhaps deserve to be fired but again we don't know all the many little details.
I'm sure it's just like the interview above, they wanted to go in, they were pissed that they couldn't go in.
Somebody not even there and not fully aware of the circumstances made the decision. You see that a lot in police work and others as well. Kind of like our current administration.
