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.
Here we go again, another school shooting. This time in Texas

Reading through this . . . if accurate . . . is infuriating. Never depend on others for your own safety.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh I get it . . . that adds to my frustration too.
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.
If I remember correctly, it was the same story at the Parkland FL shooting.
As far as hardening public facilities…. Since 9/11 I’ve often wondered why so many facilities have absolutely no security measures in place. I mean security cameras are great if you want pictures for later.
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.

Didn't a judge in Florida dismiss a case filed against the school and local LEOs stating that neither had a duty to protect the students during the 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.
It's the smaller agencies that (due to budget cuts passed down by federal, state and local governments) cannot afford to send their officers to, in some cases, any training that teaches them how to deal with situations like active shooters. Please understand, it is not because they don't care or don't want to get that type of training, they just don't have the budgets that allow for it. Unfortunately, the same thing applies to time on the range. If the agency doesn't have the budget to purchase enough ammunition they have to limit their range time to, in most cases, the yearly qualifications required by the state.
