You may be somewhat out of date on current protocols. PA state training for an active shooter now wants the first four officers on scene to have long weapons, form a fire team and go after the shooter and stop them. Leave the wounded for next responders.

This seems to be a legacy of Columbine, when policy required first officers on scene to wait for the "experts" while the cowards inside continued killing.

You arent the first to accuse me of being a dinosaur(grin) and not the first to bring my attention to protocols (particularly toilet seat protocols) I have no problem with a swat force having those weapons - I do however find it problematic a part timer is making those statements - It at least creates a huge legal liability. I have no problem with trained SWAT clearing a building - I do have a problem with 72 year old part timer adopting the same attitude and verbalizing it.

Kudos to PA for that.

Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
