No...not Coward and Cowardice. “Lack of courage” and “cowardice”. I don’t think I was clear in my post.

Maybe this was what they meant when Peterson was described as being, "Elsewhere".
Maybe he was kicking it in the RV when the shooter walked onto campus.
Again, school cop duty is seen as a very, "Cush" duty.
