“So all they have to do is run outside to the parking lot, unlock their patrol car, grab their rifle, and run back into the school.”
Correction:
So all they have to do is run outside to the parking lot, unlock their patrol car, grab their rifle, and run back into the school until the officer forgets to lock his patrol car and a student steals the rifle, runs into the school and starts shooting.
You are correct, and I was mis-remembering name of the cop that I said was Milwaukee or Minneapolis. His name was Drew, not Scott. And it looks like he was a cop in Illinois.
I’ve been a the qualifying range where cops were shooting. Seems like most of the ones I saw got their gun out about once a year to practice. Most of them couldn’t shoot themselves in the A$$. Saying that we need COPs is the wrong solution. We need TRAINED MARKSMEN and RESPONDERS ... they might be cops, they might be military, they might be traveling salesmen, or for that matter, the farmer’s daughter! But to say “cop” because they are all trained and qualified is a dangerous shortcut. The facts of THIS case with THIS cop shows the fallacy of that line of thought. Stop saying “cops” and “military” and start saying “trained responder marksmen.” (Or something like that).
It wasn’t a lake, it was San Francisco Bay.
If they were trying to manipulate the racial statistics, then why didn’t they nail this kid?
He’s a white Hispanic.
I think it's pretty clear by the sheriff's statements that Peterson was trained to go in.
I can’t help thinking that, the fact that the “authorities” failed at every level, says there is more going on here than meets the eye. There was also a long series of tweets by TheLastRampage describing political/Law Enforcement situation in Broward County for some time in which students were allowed to commit crimes freely. Check it out.
I cannot help but feel that Peterson was ordered to stand down and wait for backup that would take its sweet time getting there.
It looks like the whole thing was orchestrated. That may also be why Peterson is being guarded and kept away from everyone, so that he cannot say that he was ordered to stand down.
I know it sounds half-crazy and hard to believe. There is no evidence, but the failures at so many levels and the wisking away of Scot Peterson just doesn’t seem kosher to me.
Correction, that twitter account was TheLastRefuge not Rampage.
Like my old boss used to say, “A hundred atta boys are cancelled out by a single aww sh!t”
Washington Post – October 23, 2014

In Canada, they call the job of sergeant-at-arms “ceremonial.” But as the Calgary Sun said this morning, anyone who thought it was an “archaic novelty now understands the man holding the sceptre has a deadly serious job.”
No law enforcement agency has yet officially confirmed that Kevin Vickers, sergeant-at-arms of the Canadian Parliament, took out the man who opened fire in the halls of the capitol in Ottawa Wednesday after killing a soldier. Nor has Vickers commented on his actions.
However, in multiple news reports, Vickers, 58, is already being hailed as a national hero who eyewitnesses say prevented a massacre that would have been nothing short of a national catastrophe.
By all accounts, the white-haired grandfather, a decorated veteran of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, kept cool amid the chaos as dozens of bullets flew in the corridors, went to his office, retrieved his weapon and with a firm hand and a steely eye shot a killer before he could kill again. Vickers, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall, then walked away, gun-in hand, having “taken care of business,” as one news outlet put it.
