Not so much a rule, as a suggestion
The Sheriff is a muslum, he cares not for infidels. Did you expect a different result with a 500 years of history...
Wrong, wrong, wrong. It is written policy which is a rule. Even if a suggestion as you say, what cop or man stands by as he hears shots killing children? Who the f*ck does that?
As I've said before: The very least the SRO should have done is crawl to the sound of gunfire and discharged his side-arm into the ground a few times. If he could hear the gunshots in an in-closed area, then the shooter would most likely hear his weapon and may have been distracted. Gawd, he didn't even try. The f*cker hid.
There is no greater sacrifice than to give your life for the innocent. He's a coward by all standards of our society in my opinion. The coach and students were not, while facing the continued gunfire.
“Not so much a rule, as a suggestion”
A truly inane statement. It’s procedure and protocol not a “suggestion”.
As someone that has taught, extensively, on the subject, IT IS NOT A SUGGESTION. IT IS A RULE/POLICY, or whatever else you want to call it. And, your training is documented, signed off and the individual also signs that they have taken and successfully passed the course. Because of this, the Deputy should not have been allowed to retire, should have been brought up on department admin charges and a decent DA probably could have pushed some Manslaughter charges on him for being a p*ssy, along with the other 3 cowards.
