Need someone on the firing squad for him? I'll be glad to do it.

If you’re name is Scot or Scott Peterson or Pettersen, do you stand a statistically higher chance of spending a part of your life in the pokey?
I doubt he’ll do well in prison. Maybe not even live very long.

Wait. Cops, via numerous court cases, have ZERO obligation to the citizenry (to defend\protect, come when called, etc.).
Yet, this ‘resource officer’ is held to some other/higher standard ‘cuz....REASONS (on ‘govt property’ trumps all)?
FR should be spitting nails on the splitting of hairs and, worse, denying Citizens their 2nd A. Rights (ala ‘Gun Free School Zone’) that could have had even ONE teacher armed w/o the ‘need’ of his POS R.O.
In the immortal words of G Gordon Liddy when asked what should be done about Howard hunt:
“Lock him in a room with a Luger to do the honorable thing”.
Scapegoat
The axe should fall on the school super and sheriff for intentionally ignoring the dozens of glaring encounters and complaints that long preceded this tragic day.
When is B.Hussein going to be arrested for the school to prison pipeline scam that prevented teachers from alerting cops about Cruz even though he was a known threat? To me that’s a hell of a lot more serious than this guy being a coward. There would have been NO shooting in the first place if this kid was locked up. Think about, he SAID he was going to shoot up the school and STILL nothing was done about him! He even wrote it on the internet.
Lots of posters using the word “coward”, etc., speaking towards this sheriffs deputy, I wonder if these firebrands have ever advanced in the face of small arms fire? It’s very stressful and many people just don’t have it in them to do it. Granted those folks should probably not be cops.
Mostly SOP for police work these days is to establish a perimeter and send in specially trained swat units. What happened at Parkland wasn’t much different than what happened at Columbine High School nearly 20 years earlier. I dont recall any of the cops who didn’t rush in hunting the shooters at Columbinen were charged with crimes.
These charges seem bizarre to me, how can a cop be guilty of neglect? Is there any precedent for this?
I vote for former Sheriff Israel for being the scapegoat for Parkland, of course CNN would never go after a Democrat. I suggest Freepers not post CNN articles because of the well known very grave doubts about the accuracy and fairness of their “news” stories.
The only thing this POS coward should face is a firing squad.
