Better "stock" up boys

A complete failure. He had one job. I am speechless.

I find the most disturbing thing about all this is that your government loves to talk about this like they are paid to do.....but at the same time I get a huge sense of them saying "excellent, let the peasants kill themselves off" behind closed doors.

Wow Guys I am just flabbergasted...so much for the armed guard theory when the armed guard is a coward -

"He Never Went In": Officer On Duty Filmed "Doing Nothing" During Florida Shooting | Zero Hedge

Saw that too. Hard to say if he's a coward. The potential of being on the receiving end of gunfire is a test that no one really knows if they're going to pass until it happens, regardless of their training.

Most of us have never had to take that test.

It's a tragedy all around.

If that story is true he absolutely is a coward.

Care to refute the story?

You can't be a school resource officer without playing this scenario through your mind and knowing what your response will be. Your job is to move to the sound of gunfire, hunt the shooter down and stop the threat. There is no room for fear to play into this. I'm saying this as a 21 year law enforcement veteran.

All of you folks who think arming school employees, primarily educators, would work to neutralize a shooter with likely much more firepower where in this case a trained SRO couldn't perform his duties?

No not really, its Zero Hedge. Part of the infowars, dig a hole in the ground and bury a sea-can cause the end of the world is coming news network.

All those news networks, online or on TV are there to give you an ulcer and discredit your fellow man, which it seems to be doing.

The SRO wasn't stuck in the room getting shot at. Had he been, I'd bet he'd have used it, just the same as anyone else.

BTW, I'm not saying 'arm the teachers' is the answer.

Gun manufacturers have immunity from lawsuits on the misuse of their products. They can't be sued over these types of events.

You are onto something with suing big pharma and the Dr's however. Until the the lawyers get a hold of them the facts and truth won't come out. That isn't going to happen for quite some time however. Right now they are busy working on the opiod crisis, there is going to be a class action coming on that front that will make the tobacco lawsuit look like pocket change.

Arming teachers is a bad idea. Im all for armed personnel, maybe law enforcement or ex-military but not teachers.

At the very least we shouldn't allow drug companies to market directly to consumers. How many parents with a fidgety kid went to the doctor and told them they should be on Ritalin after they saw a commercial/magazine inserts/etc?

Drug companies should not be allowed to market directly to physicians either. Nor should they be allowed to provide them with rewards programs and incentives to push their particular product.

What if the teachers are ex-military, ex-law enforcement, or current either? I've run across many teachers who I would have no qualms about protecting my child or quick clearing a building with if they so chose.
This country is great largely because of the amount of choice each person has, I hate seeing regulation replacing choice for most anything.

Didn't happen Wayne and a good guy with a gun was there. Now go crawl back into the pockets of the gun companies who own you.

I think we need a new thread to bash the “lefties” that think the pharma companies and doctors should work for free.

Several of the teachers at my wife's school are either ex mil/LE, guard, or are married to LE/mil. Either way, they shoot a lot more than your average street cop does.....are you saying they aren't capable of doing the right thing if need be and equipped to do so?

Whats the difference between a cop that has never been on the receiving end of a fire fight and a teacher under the same circumstances? Fear is fear and as stated above, you are more likely to engage if forced into it than running towards it (as we know is the case with this past shooting).


I am all for allowing teachers the choice to carry or not....I'm sure most won't but some will making a soft target a little less soft.

Wayne didnt say a good coward with a gun. As a Police Officer i feel qualified to say this, that was a cowardice act and he should be terminated for it. I would be willing to bet his dept has policy that states as much. Ive been through multiple force v force active shooter trainings, his actions are the direct opposite of what he was trained to do. Sorry, thats the case.
