I need to know why he didnt go in. That is all.
Just guessing but due to minimal range time he had minimal confidence at being able to counteract the killer with an AR-15.
This aside from him being at retirement age, thus not wanting to get his arse shot up towards the end of his LEO career. What good is a fat pension if you get killed or get severely maimed? His thinking not mine!
“I need to know why he didnt go in.”
Saw a couple threads here where freepers were defending him because that’s how LEO handled Columbine.
Also saw some more that talk about local schools and LEO covering up crimes to improve statistics.
I’m not surprised to see the #neverTrump FReaks ramping up their hate of Trump tweeting this week.
Did his department place him in the school because he was not able to preform the duties of a sheepdog? Was he special?
1) What is the training?
- 1a not all training is good. And people tend to follow training when not given time to think.
- 1b not all training is appropriate for the situation.
2) what did he know at the time?
- 2a how many shooters were there?
- 2b what were the shooters armed with?
- 2c did his position outside make tactical sense in segregating the situation?
- 2d with the chaotic information available to him, would the situation be significantly more likely to be improved by going in compared to the risk of being taken down and being no longer available inside or out?
- 2e would fighting his way through a fleeing crowd excessively compromise any positive effect he might have had?
- 2f when should he have expected assistance?
3) was he hired to be a hero...alone?
We can condemn bits and pieces of his actions - especially given time to think about it, and more full knowledge of events. We can decide he’s not reliable in certain situations. What we shouldn’t be doing is turning into a ferocious mob running on passions.
