the video shows Peterson arrived at the west side of Building 12, where most of the killing happened. He then took up a position but "never went in."

The video shows that Peterson remained outside the building for upward of four minutes during the shooting, which lasted about six minutes, Israel said. Aside from getting "on his radio," Peterson did "nothing" while standing outside the building, Israel said.

/facepalm

So wait, some cops with years of experience and training don't have the stones or wherewithal to go do their job and deal with an active shooter but we expect teachers to?

We can't fund schools enough for students to have supplies and expect teachers to make up the difference but we can give bonuses to those who decide to carry in school?

Hmm...

Yep, arm those teachers instead.

Ironically the conservatives are afraid to send their kids to public school, yet they want the same teachers armed. Stupid deplorables.

Must piss you off that I support giving the kids and teachers a fighting chance at least instead of just letting them be slaughtered.

Gotta feel badly for any cop who loses their nerve. It's gotta hurt rather badly.

I don't blame the guy. People expect way too much from others when it comes to high pressure situations, especially ones where it's a matter of life or death.

Uh, look at the actions of some of the school staff and students besides the officer. So what's your point?

He's a resource officer. Of course it's going to attract people like him. They're basically there doing nothing for a paycheck. No one at school expects the chances of a school shooting being high.

Yeah, something tells me that the guy in the department who gets assigned "school resource officer" duties is probably not their best, brightest, or most seasoned veteran...probably an older guy who's lost a bit of his grit and has one foot out the door.

I don't blame him either. He souldn't have been put in the position of defending a full out assault.

Why are people acting as if this guy is equivalent to a Wally world security guard?

Resource officers have similar responsibilities to your regular cop. So you would say the same for university campus cops or any cop for that matter? Realize how dumb that sounds?

Actually, yeah, I'd say the same for anyone unless they've been combat hardened.

Your hero fantasies are just that, fantasy.

So why does anyone complain about them shooting an unarmed person? It's just another self-serving thing they do i.e. don't want even slightest chance of injury/death.

They should forfeit his retirement, though I'm expecting that this isn't policy, especially since so many of them are unionized and government employees generally having better protections to begin with. Something like that would hold their feet to the fire.

I don't know what you are talking about so...

You'd have been standing right behind him. We know.
Listen asshole, I can admit I don't have the stones to run into a shootout unless a loved one's life is at stake. We all know you are a big hero. Now unless you are going to do that job go fuck yourself.

The sheer numbers of police it would take to properly secure schools isn't feasible.
