Parkland Florida School Shooting

[fixer]

If this is a true statement made by this coward, he should be arrested for Dereliction of Duty and be sitting in the county jail.

I think this is a plausible outcome.

Never happen. (At least imho.)

I hope one thing to come out of this is a gut-check by every SRO, line supervisor, brass and school principal.
Nobody can go to work tomorrow and not know what the expectation is.

....My time living in Broward has reinforced my thoughts that, for the most part, "In Florida, the further south you go, the further north you are." It's basically South NYC with better weather down here.

Quoted for truth.

You are correct Sir. It will never happen, but I had to say it. It sucks to say this, but we all have these people in our agencies.

There is an interesting discussion in some educational social media as to whether teachers are required to take a bullet for their students. Should it be part of their training? We are discussing if the SRO was lacking for not engaging. Is the teacher lacking if they don't charge or cover their students with their bodies? That's the problem. At Virginia Tech, a professor held the door shut and was killed by rounds fired through it. Does the teacher have the responsibility to do it. Morally? If the shooter is outside, can Ms. Play-do or Coach Feetball dive out of the window and leave the little ones to their fate? Should it be officially part of their duties to take go unarmed H2H (or using the Ninja Ipad of Death) with the shooter?

If we do officially arm teachers, do they run to sound of cannons? Or might their responsibility to hunker down and protect where they are? If just allowing CCW as a private citizen - one could argue it is their choice as being a CCW type in the mall or house of worship as a private citizen.

Saw an armed teacher who was willing to talk in Colorado. He had what looked like a Glock 43 in an ankle holster unchambered. The school said it had to be unchambered. Not optimal - wonder if the principal press checks his or her staff each morning? Wait for it - Bang!

Required? That's a tall order, even for the Secret Service.

It's an admirable and honorable intention but I can't see it being an oath that teachers will be required to take.

required to take a bullet... well certainly. The one very thing that will dissuade a killer is another corpse.
