And sometimes when lives are on the line the cop realizes how close he is to his pension and says 'Not this guy.'.

This gives a whole new twist on this event.

According to what I’m hearing, the ARMED security man was right outside the building where the shooting was occurring, and he just stood there, and never went in to confront the shooter.

Damn!

Amazing and sad. I guess he was waiting for backup. And the backup waited for more backup. And when they came, they decided to use the security system, which had a 20 minute delay that allowed the killer to leave the premises. On and on and on and on. And the kids are mad at the NRA. Amazing and sad.

“He was standing outside the building”

The building where the shooting happened or a building across campus? Was the video recorded at the very time of the shooting or half an hour later?

He was waiting for backup. One of Broward’s finest.

This recent Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting shows the failure of Liberalism on so many levels. It is astounding. Yet, those same Libs are yelling the loudest.

We’ve also heard Camera Hogg’s mama was a CNN reporter but she’s a teacher. We’ve heard Cruz was a nice guy who wouldn’t harm a flea.

The officer would rather give granny a ticket for a busted tail light than oppose a shooter with force. He can be real tough with granny. Maybe shoot her cat or something.

Hey Laz,

I think you can add two more decision diamonds to your exquisite chart:

1. Monitoring cams on 20 minute delay.
2. School resource officer does his job.

Hearing the armed SRO stood for about 4 minutes, outside the building where the shooting was happening.

This is really an ugly turn in this story.

Anyone want to place odds on the sheriff’s office being confused by the tape-delayed surveillance video again?

So after the FBI and local law enforcement failed before the shooting, now they are going to pin the failure on the one cop who didn’t kill the kid? What about the School Board, Obama and his would be son, Trayvon?

Sundance did a story on the policy change. This shooting, doesn’ Get pinned on the gun. There are plenty of inept adults who are to blame.
