Disgraceful
Kudos to the CBP officer for ending the threat.
4 minutes is an eternity is a situation like that. I can't even imagine it going on for over 40. Unfathomable.
Same. I briefly caught some local state democrat (Forrest something) on the evening news yesterday and his comments just completely rubbed me the wrong way. He was whining about just giving up a little bit of our rights to protect others . . . weeks after the abortion debacle.Yeah, Ive stopped watching news because my nerves cant take it anymore.
I wondered if that were the case when details about the resource officer and PD being on scene but it was a BP agent who entered......terrible.Reading through this . . . if accurate . . . is infuriating. Never depend on others for your own safety.

My frustration isnt even political. It is the complete failure of anyone in media or elected positions to be able to effectively carry out root cause analysis on anything. I get incredibly disheartened about the world as a whole when I see how voluntarily ignorant and manipulative people can be when they are in a position to steer public opinion.Same.

Oh I get it . . . that adds to my frustration too.My frustration isnt even political.

Then add on that there arent enough intelligent people in the population to take them to task and call them out on what they aren't saying and it becomes difficult to see us headed anywhere other than downhill. It is truly depressing and stokes the fire to work my ass off until I can buy a few hundred acres and just live in bliss hunting and fishing near a small town of country folks haha.
If this report is true, all the talk about increasing the number of SRO’s and cops on campuses is pointless. The SRO and the cops were there, and he still killed 21 people.Reading through this . . . if accurate . . . is infuriating. Never depend on others for your own safety.

I don't know . . . if the safety officer's sole job was to man the secured entrance I don't think it would be pointless. Depending on police for protection however does seem to be pointless in this case.If this report is true, all the talk about increasing the number of SRO’s and cops on campuses is pointless.

If I remember correctly, it was the same story at the Parkland FL shooting.
My experience as a retired LEO who worked for both small and large agencies is that the agencies with budgets that allow them to afford armored vehicles and other equipment for specialized teams do also provide training on a regular basis and much more in some cases.Yeah, Ive stopped watching news because my nerves cant take it anymore. I do more work on the laptop in another room while my wife catches up on whats happening.
My counterargument would be if your security isnt at least as competent as LE, it doesnt do any good for them to be armed either. It is a crying shame that a lot of our non-specialized LEOs in the country represent the minimum proficiency with firearms. I have been saying for a long time that poor decisions made under pressure that result in the death of someone being taken into custody is quite often an indicator of a lack of training. So many of these departments spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for armored personnel carriers, Humvees, and other military level equipment, but couldnt be bothered to send their officers to some real training on a regular basis. Firearm proficiency and grappling type fighting skills should be for every officer, not just the ones actually interested in excelling at their job and going home safe and healthy.
