I don't feel like typing, however Google 'Scot Peterson, Broward County. Sheriff's Office' and see if that doesn't piss you off. He was on duty at the school when the people were murdered. He never fucking went in!

Unfortunately he wasn't able to talk about it initially ...
... in the link is the internal affairs memo to him to keep his mouth shut.
but now that he has resigned and is no longer under the control of the SO, perhaps he will be able to discuss departmental policies and procedures regarding single officers responding to active shooting situations and their response, any instructions he received over the radio regarding whether or not he was to enter the building alone during an active shooting incident, the training the SO provided him for active shooting incidents in such venues as schools, his personal experience as a police officer involving acting shooting incidents, and his instructions from the school district about any role he might have in an active shooting situation in the school.
There was something once said about "Indians" and "moccasins."
Hopefully the SO will get the same scrutiny as Ferguson PD did over Michael Brown's death.
John, have you ever met the "typical" peace officer assigned to "school duty" ....?
And their "training" to be a "school officer"?
THAT WILL PISS YOU OFF! Particularly in the aftermath of Columbine!
My best guess is this "kid" doing the shooting had more "training" for shooting moving targets in a crowded building than did the "school officer" assigned by the SO, and clearly was better armed for the intended task. And keep that in mind when people are talking about arming teachers (most of whom were probably bitching about a "cop" stalking around inside the school upsetting the "kids")! [I suspect the "shooter" knew there was a deputy at the school ... and you saw his "on the ground assessment"!]
