Echoes what I posted here;
If even only 25% of the 140 LEOs outside had stormed and swept the building...
SOP Committees- the death of rationally intuitive, flexible, dynamic and heroic leadership problem solving.
Where were hero LEO “men”?
...probably lost, frozen and paralyzed by the quagmire of ROEs determined by

FReepmail me if you want on/off the ping list.
You will be more busy in retirement than you ever was before.
Houses...grandchildren...medical issues....driving problems...financial issues....memory issues....relatives....caregivers.
Beautiful! And true!
TtT offers concrete solutions to reduce school shootings:
1). Every building should have a single point of entry.
2). Strong exterior fencing, metal detectors & new tech preventing an unauthorized person entering a school.
3). Every person checked, scanned & screened.
4). Hardened classroom doors that are lockable from the inside.
5). A police officer or armed guard at every school on duty at all times.
And I would add:
6. Cameras in every classroom that can be switched on remotely to see what the shooter is doing in the classroom. That would help LE know if they should charge in.

Interesting details about the school shooting in this article:
This guy studied the shooter response procedures in the town’s police department. They did not follow the procedures they had written and practiced:

“CEO of Pfizer at the WEF 2022:
“I think fact, it’s really fulfilling our dream we had together w/ my leadership team when we started in ‘19... & one of them was by 2023 we reduce the number ppl in the world by 50%. I think today this dream’s becoming reality. “
Audience claps.

Is that on YouTube somewhere?
I've been in public safety a long time and have seen the evolution from "wait 'til SWAT gets here" to "wait a short time and enter with 3-5 officers" to "screw all that - just GO IN and get the bastard" before more are shot or the ones who are shot are bleeding out. Time works against you otherwise.
The most recent changes are in EMS and Fire where they become part of warm zone to get to the victims under the protection of officers - even while the shooter is being neutralized, wearing tactical vests and Kevlar helmets, to stop the bleeding, and handoff the victims to transport teams.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) now has a standard for this. This tactic is known as "Rescue Task Force".
I attended seminars where the San Ysidro McDonald’s incident was discussed back in the day. One urban legend is that for every successful neutralization, a sniper may carve a happy face in the stock of their weapon. In this case, it was said that the carving was the Golden Arches. Snipers are special people - and you need a special kind of cop to do that job. As part of my job. I was a SWAT medic and trained and deployed with guys like this on a regular basis.
